Raising Dragons in Hollywood

Chapter 104: You just stand here and don't move

Views:

I don't know about other dragons, but Mickey dragons are super easy to coax.

Just sing a song, say a nice word, give a smiley face, or act a little more intimately, and this dragon can have fun all day long.

Sammy is relatively rough, and often can't figure out why the dragon is angry.

But I have to say that with the development of time, even if he is unconscious, he can coax the dragon intuitively.

After singing a new song that was a little out of tune, Michaelon has completely lost his temper.

Then, after he indulged Mickey to touch his head and kiss his face again, the dragon completely entered the state of love between two fools, and only giggled.

After that, when Sammy went to discuss the soundtrack with Hello again, the dragon was not sour.

He hugged the lyrics of the new song and seemed to be unable to read it enough, especially the phrase 'please, let's dance together, you know I love you', read it over and over again, and was very happy.

Meanwhile, Sammy's job is going well.

In fact, the key to successful completion of many jobs is actually finding the right person.

Hello is not a band that specializes in dubbing movies, but their music has a certain quality.

It may be because of the displaced, underappreciated, and poor in their early years. In the music they create, people can always hear a kind of helplessness and loneliness, but in the helplessness and loneliness, there is a fearless free and easy and loneliness. Bold.

Sammy's film is a bit of a borderline romance, and the two main characters' mental states are not very normal.

But he doesn't want to give the impression that the protagonist is weird or miserable or something, but a normal feeling of 'we are different from others, but we are also normal people'.

"Do normal people set fires***?"

After learning about Sammy's thoughts, Mick Lee couldn't help but tease.

But Sammy explained earnestly with a small round face: "It's just a way of committing suicide."

Mick Lee smiled and stopped arguing.

However, since it was brought up.

Sammy started to struggle with the 'fire ***' scene again.

In the previous shoot, he was a little less thoughtful and just burned a built model.

Although the fire was quite fierce at the time, in the later editing, the fire also looked too imposing.

"Still too rushed," Sammy said to himself.

Rossi looked solemn: "don't tell me, you want to..."

"I just want to!"

"Don't even think about it!"

"no."

"It must be done."

Mickey looked left and right, and couldn't help asking, "What the hell is going on?"

Sammy and Rosie said in unison, "Remake."

The two of them looked at each other, dissatisfied with each other, and quarreled again:

"no."

"Row!"

In the end, Sammy won again.

He doesn't care a lot of the time, only in his own field of work, or he doesn't do it, or he must be perfect.

If you change to an unfamiliar producer, you may still have the heart to spend a lot of money with him, or make some bad moves.

But Rossi is Sammy's friend. He can't think of any wicked way to deal with him, and he knows his stubborn personality (think about it, in real life, people who can take dragon slaying as a career and persist for more than ten years) , can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke), so, I didn't want to waste time and gave in, I just set a rough amount and asked him not to exceed the budget of the crew.

Sammy has no problem with that.

Since the previously built model has been burnt, remake means starting from scratch.

So, the whole crew got back to work.

Once again, the props team was busy making preparations. Some of the costumes and props that had been burned before had to be refilled; the assistant director also hurry up to make the shooting schedule, and also had to count the time of the actors. , call the actors who need the scene, coordinate their schedules, and determine the final shooting time.

In addition, Rossi was forced by Sammy to use all his contacts to find a location where he could shoot on the spot.

He rambled and complained, 'Is it not enough to burn the model? Do you know how much it will cost? ', while working tirelessly to find a suitable venue.

Maybe really lucky.

Rossi quickly found a good place. There was a factory that was about to go out of business near the outskirts of the city. In this factory, there were several small rooms similar to staff dormitories, which were simple and dilapidated, just in line with the requirements of the plot.

What’s even better is that the land for this closed factory was repossessed by the government due to debts, and it is now on the government’s schedule to demolish the dilapidated factory.

That is to say, the crew can burn the house at will, and the cleaner it is, the more helpful the government is, and there is no need to pay extra.

On the other side, Sammy was not idle either.

Learning from the last lesson, he no longer let the crew of the crew be responsible for the ignition this time, but hired a demolition company to facilitate the shooting of the house on fire in the film.

For a professional company that works with Hollywood crews and shoots explosive scenes for years, it's just a small business.

There is no need to do any explosions, just set fires, it is too simple.

Therefore, the salesperson of their company swears and slaps the chest to assure: "This shooting will be absolutely no problem, the director can burn the fire however you want!"

Next, I don't know if it's because he dislikes the lack of this business. He wants to expand and expand. With a warm attitude comparable to that of a five-star hotel waiter, he asks diligently, "Director, how do you want the fire to burn?"

Sammy was taken aback.

He asked a little dumbfounded, "How do you let the fire burn? What do you mean?"

"Because we have a variety of featured service models for you to choose from."

The salesman was very excited and introduced with high spirits: "How do you want the flame to burn? Are there any size and shape requirements? We have various packages for you to choose from. For example, you can choose to burn a heart shape. Or burn a six-pointed star? Or burn a fractured canyon? Or burn a doomsday ruin? Or, just burn a racing track? As long as you're willing to pay more, you'll be fine."

Sammy was stunned.

He tried hard to restrain himself and asked, 'What does the doomsday ruin type flame look like? What is the fracture canyon like? ' and 'Long experience, can the racetrack still burn? ', but returned to the point and said cautiously: "I just want a midnight fire type."

The salesman is very good. Even though his face is full of disappointment, he is still struggling to continue selling: "Are you sure you only need this one item? In fact, we are now selling the second item at half price. Unprecedented discounts, you will lose if you only buy one. Ah! You can choose the one you need to set fire to in the middle of the night, and then choose a fresh one that you haven't seen before."

Why don't you buy this stuff when you have nothing to do

What's so new about setting fires

Sammy was powerless to complain.

He had to refuse again: "No need, no need."

"If you can't use it now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to use it in the future!"

"… "

"You can take advantage of this discount to store a few more, store them with us, and call us when you use them."

"… "

"The discount is very strong, and you won't miss it this time!"

"… "

The salesman was obsessed with Sammy, persevering in his sales all the way.

Sammy was irritated.

He's a little out of touch with this type.

Thick-skinned, scolding can not go away; high emotional intelligence, polite attitude from beginning to end, especially sincere, not scolding, not hitting. After all, no matter how fierce the little round face is, he is not a bad person.

However, the fun is...

Michaelon stood up bravely at this time and stood in front of Sammy.

He was tall and big, and when he didn't speak with a straight face, he still looked very intimidating.

The salesman was startled and stepped back several steps for fear of being beaten.

As a result, Mickey directly performed a mouthful of flames, and then asked blankly, "What kind of fire do you want? I also have a set meal here."

The salesman was startled.

But how can normal humans think of the existence of fire dragons

So, he said excitedly: "It's awesome, brother!"

The little fire dragon, who wanted to scare people, was stupid: "What's going on, aren't you afraid? I'm breathing fire."

"What are you afraid of, isn't it magic, I've seen it before!"

The salesman gestured cheerfully: "Before Chinatown, there were people who performed magic tricks, broken boulders in their chests, stroked their arms without injury, dipped their hands in oil pans, and sprayed flames from their mouths. , is said to be at least thirty centimeters..."

"Can humans spray that long?" Mickey was shocked.

The salesman nodded immediately and boasted: "There are also ones that can spray two meters."

This is sheer nonsense.

But the little fire dragon, who had never seen the world, was still stunned.

At this moment, he was ashamed and wanted to dig a hole in the ground to hide: "I am a fire dragon, but no human can play with fire yet?"

Sammy was dying of laughter.

However, salespeople are annoying though selling.

But the level of business at this company is really good, and once the reshoots were scheduled, their crews were in place quickly.

However, that day was very unfortunate. Since the afternoon, the sky has been gloomy.

Sammy was especially worried that everyone would encounter rain when shooting at night.

Unexpectedly, with the passage of time, although the rain clouds became denser and the sky was cloudy, the rain never fell.

Sammy was worried about the rain, and his nerves were always tense. He finally managed to get through it until the weather was almost the same. The actors and staff were all in place, so he immediately took the time to prepare for the shooting, and wanted to fight for a show.

Turn on the camera, and everyone is busy with their time.

The actors are in their places, racing against time to get the trick done before it rains.

The person responsible for burning the house is also prepared.

So, after filming part of the actors' scenes, they immediately ignited some flammable materials that had already been placed.

At this time, you can see that the money is not wasted.

Professionals do not burn the house blindly. The place where the flammable materials are placed is exquisite. First, control the fire to ensure that the house will not burn down in less than five minutes, which will affect the shooting effect; second, start the fire from the periphery and let the photographer take a good picture of the fire; According to the need, the staff may shoot back and forth inside and outside the house, and at the same time, put some broken bricks and tiles to increase the visual impact of the scene; finally, when the details are finished, all the staff will be withdrawn, and then there will be another spectacular raging scene. Fire!

Until this time, the useless house was allowed to burn down.

And the scene of the house suddenly collapsing in the fire will make the whole scene quite dynamic and impactful.

Because we were worried that it would rain in a while, everyone was in a hurry to shoot.

But fortunately, with God's help, the whole process went very smoothly.

When the final fire burned, everyone couldn't help but let go of the tightened heart.

Everyone looked at the fire with a relaxed smile.

The salesman came to Sammy again and did after-sales work with a smile: "Are you satisfied with our work this time?"

Sammy nodded again and again: "Satisfied, satisfied, professional, professional."

"It is our greatest honor to satisfy customers." The salesman continued.

"Oh, good." Sammy nodded again in response.

Just then, there was a commotion in the crew.

Immediately afterwards, the cameraman's voice sounded: "Director! Director! It's not good! Something happened!"

"what?"

"Mickey, Mickey is gone!"

"Ah? Where did he go?"

"In the house, in the house!"

"What house?"

"In the fire, in the fire, he is still in the fire! When we were just shooting, we were looking for an angle, and you told him 'stand here and don't move', and he didn't move!"

"… "
