Raising Dragons in Hollywood

Chapter 11: Magnificent little fire dragon

Views:

Sammy is the youngest child in the Griffin family.

Because of his young age, he lived for a long time under the over-indulgence of his parents and the care and protection of his elder brothers, which made his life too happy and smooth, thus possessing a certain natural personality. The specific performance is that he is not wary of the friends he knows, he is usually too generous, and he does not care about anything.

So, when Ellie complained about 'the mask was eaten up by Mickey'...

He really didn't have any thoughts in his mind, only a sigh of 'Mickey's appetite is quite good'.

But Rosie didn't know why, maybe it was because the wind in his girlfriend's ears finally played a role, or maybe it was sheer dislike.

Anyway, after hanging up Ellie's call, he asked abruptly, "When are you going to keep him?"

"What?" Sammy didn't respond at all.

"I mean Mikey, do you still keep him for the rest of your life?" Rossi pushed his glasses and said speechlessly.

Only then did Sammy understand, but he retorted unhappily: "What support? It's just friends helping each other."

He added indifferently (heartlessly): "Also, I didn't do anything. I just provided a place to live and a few meals, which didn't cost anything."

"Nothing at all? Are you serious?"

Rosie couldn't help but complain: "Do you know how much he eats in one meal? I've never seen such a food bucket!"

"Hey! Be careful with your words, Mikey is my friend."

"He ate all the food in the fridge in one day, including my girlfriend's face mask."

"Uh, he's a netizen."

"… "

Rossi rolled his eyes wide at the ceiling.

Then, he patted Sammy on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Dude, that's not what helping friends is. He can't stay at home and rely on you to support him all his life, even if you want to, maybe people won't (Mickey: No.) No, I will). We have to find something to do for him, whether it is study or work, to have a spiritual sustenance and a life of his own. People must do something in their life, right? Otherwise, what is the point of living? ?"

Sammy looked at him in amazement. "I didn't expect you to be a thinker."

- Is this the point

Rossi took a deep breath in anger: "Thank you for the compliment."

Fortunately, Sammy was habitually slow and stupid about certain things, but he was humbly accepting the opinions of his friends.

He was quick to admit: "You're right."

But this is completely bad news for Mai Qilong.

Long has a good life, why do you want to find something to do

'One has to do something, but the problem is...'

He really wanted a Dapeng to spread his wings, rushed into the sky, and protested loudly: 'I am a dragon! Have you ever seen a dragon go out to work? Dragons should not sleep comfortably on the countless piles of oversized treasures, occasionally go hunting when hungry, and come back to sleep again, year after year. Unless the dragon slaying warriors who always like to bully dragons show up in groups to harass dragons, will they sleep until they are old? '

Obviously, the dragon living in the human kingdom is not allowed to do this, he has to learn to do as the locals do.

Especially after looking at his passport, Sammy found out that he was an adult the day he came to the United States, and suddenly thought that he should no longer take care of him as a minor. For this reason, he was also very annoyed that he had not considered it carefully before, and should have noticed this earlier.

Think about it, a foreigner (Dragon) who has just grown up, came to the United States, a place he didn't know well, alone, and took refuge in a strange netizen. In a short period of time, you may really not dare to do anything. Even if you want to go out and find a job, you are very timid, right

What's more, he has experience of domestic violence before. So, I can only stay at home obediently...

With such a thought, Sammy immediately felt pity: "What a poor, introverted, well-behaved Cinderella boy!"

To make up for his mistakes, he enthusiastically helped Mickey find a job.

Mickey was reluctant, but he still pretended to be moved to thank him.

But he kept crying in the storm in his heart: 'No, no, the age on the passport is just written for convenience in human social activities. I'm only two hundred years old, I'm still a baby, and you humans are employing child labor. '

It is a pity that the dragon family does not have a minor dragon protection law.

Even if there were, no nosy dragon would go to human society to enforce the law.

Therefore, the underage fire dragon will soon go to work like a human being.

Sammy efficiently helped him find a temporary job as an actor at Disney Parks.

Unexpectedly, Mickey's efficiency is also very high.

He was fired after less than a week of work and even the probation period.

Because he always overslept, was late every day, and quarreled with children:

—Dragons are ugly, big and scary, not as good as dolls.

- Nonsense, the dragon is beautiful! You are ugly, small and scary dragons, you don't even have scales, you are ugly!

This thing is about to die of popularity.

The supervisor in charge of managing their actors yelled at him angrily: "Who do you think you are? Can you be a big star? Listen, don't embarrass yourself. If you can't do it, just don't do it. Do it, hurry up, and don't make trouble for everyone!"

Mickey thought for a while, and suddenly nodded sincerely: "My friend, you are right!"

Then he turned away.

-gone

director:"… "

On the way back, the underage Xiaohuolong was still very angry.

This is not to say that he is ignorant and ungrateful and resents Sammy for helping him find a job, ending the good life of eating and doing lazy, but that Longsheng is too rough.

All other juvenile dragons can eat, drink, play and sleep foolishly under the protection of adult dragons, only they have to go to the human kingdom to make a living.

And the reason for this is actually—because the scales are too beautiful and they look too good-looking, which aroused Bielong's coveted... It's really a long face, which makes the dragon sad.

Thinking of this, he also felt that he was the secret cast of the pearl and was let down by humans, and began to count down his human friend Sammy in his heart: "Do you know that you have a super beautiful dragon at home? You know that you are a complete The happiest person in the world? How can you not cherish me? Oh, I forgive you! You haven't seen my beautiful dragon prototype, you don't know anything, you are a round-faced fool who hates dragons Shorty. Kill the dragon? The dragon blows a breath and you fly, you know? Forget it, I forgive you."

At the same time, Sammy's own affairs have not been going well, and he can't take care of dealing with the problem of Mai Qilong for the time being.

Disney executives couldn't figure out what to do with the cartoon.

Moreover, it is impossible for them to be entangled in this matter all the time, and there are other tasks to be busy. For example, the IP creation plan of "Nana Rabbit" is the current focus of work.

Sammy understands it quite well. On the one hand, he has already invested a lot of money, no need to modify it, he has determined to make money, and he only needs a lot of publicity to sell the cartoon "Rabbit Nana", which can sell a lot of peripheral toys. If you want to launch a simple clay short animation, you must re-invest in it, take certain risks, and you are not sure of the market's acceptability.

Any normal person would choose the former, right

But understanding is understanding, Sammy is still very frustrated by this, and, with a heavy sense of responsibility, he apologizes to all members of his animation production team: "I'm sorry, in order to help me, you spent a lot of time and energy, But I can only bring you a work that cannot be released."

The rookie animator Jack said indifferently: "But if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have the opportunity to spend time and energy."

The photographer Gavin, who has a slight stutter, said as slowly as possible: "I, I had nothing to do, your animation, animation is very good."

Rossi is more calm and rational.

He told Sammy directly, "What are you thinking? It's not your fault."

Failure didn't make Sammy sad...

But the understanding of his friends made him cry.

When Michael entered the door, he happened to see his human sitting on the sofa wiping tears.

His mind was stunned, he rushed over in a hurry, and shouted incoherently: "Don't cry, I'll show you a hamburger! Although it's not a great skill, I can swallow the whole thing in one bite, which is impossible for humans! "

Everyone: "… "
