Chapter 7: Psychedelic

At that time, Lindsay was treasured by Disney after filming "A Natural Pair" and became his favorite teenage idol. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info went all the way from "Little Reporter Big Detective" to "Hot Mom Hot Girl" and "Mean Girl", beating the contemporaries of Hillary Duff (New Growing Pains) and Anne Hathaway (The Princess Diaries).

It seems that this honor is really not given for nothing.

Then it's time for Lindsey and Jeremy's rivalry.

From the bowling alley to the streets of China, the two people competed against each other from the beginning, to the dissolution of prejudices, and then to the final family dependence. In the whole process, not only did the actors grow rapidly, but Sid also improved his control over the shooting and his grasp of different film genres in repeated polishing.

Ricky (Jeremy), who received his niece Sophia (Lindsay), took her to pass the time at the bowling alley according to the note left by his sister.

The two sat opposite each other, flanked by extras playing bowling, who were actually specially recruited dancers. Jeremy and Lindsey sat on two couches facing each other.

Jeremy chattered about Lindsay's current situation, and Lindsay sat cross-legged on the couch, answering in an uncaring tone. Although she kept playing with the GameBoy in her hand, she didn't even understand "Richie" when she said casually.

"PassiveAggressive?" Jeremy bites his tongue, "What does that mean?"

Lindsay continued to bow his head and play with the GameBoy in his hand without replying, and in this question-and-answer character interaction, "Sophia"'s precocious and quiet was fully revealed, and "Richie's" chaos was also interpreted by Jeremy.

Of course, this coincides with the precociousness of the character "Sophia" and Lindsay's own precocious personality. And the character of "Richie" does not have too complex contradictory personalities, so for Jeremy, it is also within the scope of ability.

Then, after seeing a clerk at the bowling alley take out a small bag of Drug (Du/product) from the bowling ball, "Richie" suddenly left the bowling alley with "Sophia" and took it to his old residence in Chinatown. It was a small, dirty alley, and from the depths of the alley came deafening rock music, and in the shadows there were several figures pushing and arguing.

"Sophia" followed "Richie" expressionlessly on the surface, but her big eyes kept looking back and forth, unconsciously revealing the tension in her heart. I don't know if it's because of Lindsay's family reasons, but she also has a good grasp of this subtle expression.

"Richie" walked to the bottom of the alley, knocked on the door, and the loud rock electronic sound was released.

"Richie" told "Sophia" to wait outside the door, and went in alone.

Standing alone outside the door, "Sophia" looked particularly petite and pitiful in the orange dim light, and a figure walked by outside the alley, and a sense of fear and loneliness swept over at once.

Lindsay seems to have suddenly returned to the quarrelsome and violent home, hiding alone in the closet listening to the bickering and abuse of her parents downstairs and the fists and kicks of her alcoholic father.

Tears welled up in Lindsay's eyes, she wiped her eyes, and walked out of the alley without saying a word, and "Richie" hurriedly chased after her.

"Richie" explained again and again, and "Sophia" finally broke her precocious and intelligent shell at this time, revealing the sensitivity and innocence that a little girl should have.

Sid bites his nails and stares at the monitor expressionlessly, originally there was no direct crying shot here, because to highlight the cold psychedelic style of the film.

The original "Sophia" just wiped a handful of non-existent tears, pretending to cry and acting out the scene with the "Richie" opponent.

But Lindsay's performance is natural, better than the original. After showing the hand-turned comic strip drawn by Richie as a child, he looked at the animated girl "Sophia" who was crushed to death and resurrected by arrows and iron hooks and finally a boulder between the pages of the flipping book, and the genuine "Sophia" burst into tears and laughed.

The slightly bloody animation content is accompanied by warm lighting and soothing music, and Lindsay's innocent and childish smile reveals the warm style of the film.

Even during the conversation between the two, "Sophia" was surprised to find that the other party actually knew about the popular GameBoy game among children, "Do you know Pokemon?

The camera then pans back to the bowling alley, where the two sit at the bar and talk casually, and "Sophia" returns to the image of a cool and precocious girl. Her aggressive questioning made "Richy" clumsy, asking about Richie's personal situation for a while, questioning his living habits for the next, and later recommending him to find a girlfriend to help him take care of his life.

And this little adult's precocious style is exactly where Lindsay's true colors lie, her aggressive and round-robin performance, Sid can't help but feel that Jeremy is really a headache from her "whole".

What follows is a transitional scene, when "Sophia" is in the bathroom, "Richie" is outside, but two middle-aged aunts who are drunk are standing at the door, talking loudly while constantly knocking on the bathroom door. In the end, "Richie" couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at the two aunts: "ShutUp!

Although this is a "scolding" scene, in fact, in the slightly exaggerated chat scene of two middle-aged women, the protagonist Jeremy yells "ShutUp!", and Sid also asks Jeremy to experimentally use various crazy and "ShutUp!" facial expressions to shoot repeatedly.

"Shut up your stinky mouth!", "Shut up!", "Shut up!", "Shut up, shut up!" After venting for a long time, "Sophia" rinsed in the bathroom, passed through the two middle-aged aunts who were frightened and frozen by "Richie", and walked to the high platform in front of "Richie".

Jeremy then naturally transitions from a state of rage to normal, which is a bit absurd, but also funny.

He straightened Sophia's hair, straightened her collar, and then the uncle and nephew left holding hands. "Sophia" not only smiled calmly during the whole process, but also stuck out her tongue at "Richie" at the end and smiled funny.

The exaggerated behavior and the contrasting character conflict actually produce quite a sense of comedy.

A vibrant melody sounded in the background, and Lindsay Jr. said it was his favorite song. She couldn't help but jump out of her seat and jump into the bowling alley to the sound of her favorite music.

It can be said that this dance has greatly sublimated the spirituality and psychedelic color of the whole film, and it can even be said that there is an absolute difference between this scene and not this scene for "Curfew".

In preparation for the scene, Sid asked Henry to recruit experienced dancers to perform the show.

Against the backdrop of the normal behavior of many extras, Lindsay was the first to jump into the bowling alley. She beats, spins in circles, waves her arms, and the whole runway becomes her personal stage. "Richie" looked around in amazement, but no one showed surprise at "Sophia's" abrupt dance.

With everyone chatting, drinking, and playing ball normally, Lindsay danced in strange circles on the fairway, and she even looked back and pointed at "Richie" and smiled.

Suddenly, the drum beats!

Lindsay suddenly buried her head forward, from a joyful dance that turned freely into a mechanical dance. Step by step, she walked forward like a mechanical dancer to the beat of a drum. Then, the world changed!

The people sitting on the sofa were all neatly beating Lindsay with their feet on the beat, and giving her a drum beat with their hands. People standing at the mouth of the fairway are also holding the ball and twisting their bodies to the beat of the drum. "Richie" looked around with some confusion. The drinkers at the bar also twisted their shoulders neatly, responding to the beat.

"Richie" straightened up a little frightened, and the golfers in the fairway were neatly holding the ball and beating the beat.

When "Richie" looked closely, the golfers on the fairway and the drinkers at the bar changed their dancing postures again, their hands beating up and down, and their cheeks twisting expressionlessly, but their faces could not be seen clearly from "Richie's" angle.

Lindsay jumped up and turned on the fairway, happily like Alice on a magical land, and finally she was a beautiful one-word horse, both elegant and aura.

"Richie" rubbed his eyes repeatedly, but the world was spinning, and the lights in the stadium seemed to be fascinated by a layer of psychedelic fireworks, so that "Richie" couldn't tell whether it was reality or fantasy.

"Dance with me! Quick, dance with me, please. "Sophia" took "Richie's" hand and excitedly begged him. "Richie" looked around, and the arena was back to a "normal" world of drinking and chatting.

"Hurry!" "Sophia" jerked, and "Richie's" arm was pulled out of her clothes, revealing a blood-soaked bandage.

It was a suicide wound that had just been barely wrapped. "Richie" let out a cry of pain and withdrew his bandaged hand.

"Sophia" looked at "Richie's" wound in surprise and kept asking. But "Richie" definitely didn't want to explain suicide to an 11-year-old girl, and he had to reason that it was an accident.

Five hours flew by, and the two were soon on their way home.

They sat indifferently in the deserted subway, "Sophia" looked back at "Richie", moved to his side flexibly with her small body, and leaned her head on his shoulder and smiled sweetly, and a trace of warm emotion rose in the camera.
