This time facing the two gods of acting, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, plus a Will Smith who is not weak, Tom Cruise's performance is crucial.

Only if he can hold up the scene, then he can perfectly realize the tension of the "Four Kings Fight" that Sid wants, and the scene where the four male protagonists compete against each other and do not give an inch is the effect Sid wants.

Sid walked up to Tom Cruise and asked mercilessly in front of Al Pacino and the crew, "Tom, have your skills in "Rain Man" been eaten by dogs?!"

Sid's words made the staff next to him and Tom Cruise's gang of followers break out in a cold sweat.

"Of course not!" Tom Cruise glared, and was "scolded" by Sid's nose, and his anger came up all at once.

Sid couldn't help but smile contemptuously at his answer, "Really?" he asked rhetorically, his eyes looking directly at Tom Cruise, the burning energy in his eyes that made those around him shy away.

"I know you're a superstar now, and everybody holds you in the palm of their hand. ”

"Is it 50 or 100 years from now, what do you want people to say about you? Oh, Tom Cruise? I know, that handsome young man when he was young, and he can't act when he's old...... Is this what you want?" Sid shook his hand contemptuously, and his unceremonious words cracked into Tom Cruise's anger.

"Of course not!" he clenched his hands into fists and glared at Sid, muttering in his throat to say something, but not a word.

Seeing his performance, Sid immediately asked with a solemn face: "I remember when you first came to Hollywood, you were poor and didn't even have a meal, and everyone said that you were too handsome to be an actor, what is your answer!"

"the T's, I'm going to show them what I'm capable of!" Tom Cruise blurted out on the spot with a foul mouth, a far cry from his usual polite idol image.

"That's right! fuck those bastards, and you can do it!" Sid, with a cold smile, continued to provoke Tom Cruise's anger and pointed at him.

After boosting Tom Cruise's morale, Sid rearranged the script with him and Al Pacino, improvising a short dialogue before resuming filming.

Because the police department temporarily summoned people to arrest the drug trade of the mob boss Frank, Tom Cruise, played Colin, walked from the secret location of the busy police officers to the balcony, and called Frank on his mobile phone to report to him.

At this time, Roy, the director played by Al Pacino, came up from behind and patted Tom Cruise on the shoulder.

Tom Cruise was frightened, the reaction was too big, it's over!

He suddenly looked nervously at the camera.

Sid smiled and said, "It's okay, do it again." ”

Then, after trying a few more times.

Tom Cruise's performance magically stabilized, and when Al Pacino patted him on the shoulder from behind again, he didn't move, just turned his head sharply, first startled, and then immediately changed his face and smiled, "Hi, Director." ”

Then, after a side-by-side conversation, Tom Cruise took out his phone and smiled at Al Pacino.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Al Pacino immediately knew he was calling, apologized, and turned away. Al Pacino's portrayal of Director Roy is completely deceived by his performance.

Tom Cruise's performance isn't flawless, but it's also natural.

The others looked at Sid in amazement, and the genius director really lived up to his reputation.

Just when "The Departed" was finally on the right track, Lindsay's new film "Mean Girls" officially started filming in California.

As a work that has returned to the film industry after three years of "Hannah Montana", Lindsay's film has also attracted a lot of attention within a certain range.

Although "Hannah Montana" has caused a lot of enthusiasm and repercussions in youth American dramas and youth singing, the "fine tradition" of looking down on people has always been in the film industry, so as the first work of today's top youth idols to return to the film industry, it has naturally attracted the attention of gossip media.

"Mean Girl", as Lindsay's most famous movie in the previous life, can be said to be a masterpiece that really made her rise to the sky.

This is not only because of the quality of the movie itself, but also because it created the pop culture of "mean girls" at the right time.

Although there are stereotypes such as "blonde girls are stupid" and "cheerleaders are bad" in previous movies and cultures, "Mean Girls" is indeed the first work to put it on the movie screen, and as a result, such an indelible impression has been deeply planted among young people and the general public.

and!

In order to create a good film, Sid not only asked Fire Lion Pictures to find the original director Mark Walls, but also poached its chief screenwriter from "Saturday Night Live", and the future North American comedy queen Tina Fey was the screenwriter to modify and play a teacher role in the film.

Although Sid can copy the script of the original film, there are many nonsensical comedy styles in the original script that belong to Tina Fey, which are difficult for others to imitate, and even if they are copied in the script, it is difficult to ensure that the director can express it.

Therefore, Xide simply brought in the original core team to create "Mean Girl", and then the producer team of Fire Lion Pictures controlled it to ensure the quality of the finished film to the greatest extent.

On this basis, the selection of actors is not so important, and at Lindsay's request, her little best friend Amanda Seyfried in "Hannah Montana" still won the supporting actress in the film, and Rachel McAdams was handpicked by Sid to play "Queen B" Regina.

Rachel McAdams is the real ageless and childlike among European and American actresses, although the filming of "Mean Girl" was two years earlier this time, but Rachel, who is already 23 years old, has no sense of disobedience when she plays a high school girl.

And she just performed with Jessica Alba on the front foot as a high school student in "Youth Musical", and on the back foot she has to play a classmate with Lindsay Lohan, a genuine 15-year-old young girl, which is really amazing.

As for the script, Sid cut a lot of non-popular content from the very beginning of the story outline to make it more in line with the all-age positioning.

And the reason why Rachel McAdams is willing to play a similar role again is also because Sid personally gave her the opportunity to star in two romantic comedies under the Fire Lion in the future, so she readily agreed.
