Raising Dragons in Hollywood

Chapter 12: The Adventures of Teen Aaron

Views:

"What humans can't do, it's like you're not human."

Sammy laughed as he spoke.

Mickey's face couldn't help showing a look of confusion. He couldn't understand why humans could cry one second before laughing the next.

But anyway, he was relieved to see that Sammy stopped crying.

Although the round-faced dwarf is bad and ignorant, he doesn't know how to cherish the beautiful fire dragon at all, and even arranges the underage dragon to go out to work.

But for Mickey, in the human kingdom, although there are countless people, but those people have nothing to do with him, and only this human being who takes in him is his own.

It is the innate nature of every dragon to guard its own treasures, so the human beings who belong to it must also be cherished.

Today, because of his underage, weak strength, living in the human kingdom, and not accumulating enough treasures, Mai Qilong can only have "his human".

Thinking of this...

The little fire dragon, who shamelessly and secretly took people to himself, looked at Sammy even more intently.

He also stretched out his finger and wiped away the tears on the round face as carefully as when he wiped his jewelry before, but he didn't expect it to feel good, so he secretly poked it twice, and felt a little bit in his heart. Regretfully sighed: "Humans are so troublesome, in fact, licking it will make it cleaner."

As soon as he was distracted, he forgot to move, and just now he was so close, and the distance between the two suddenly became very close.

Sammy raised his head a little strangely and wanted to ask what was wrong, but he couldn't help but stare blankly, noticing that the 'minor' he took in had a pair of very sexy green eyes. When he was serious and no longer showed his almost silly side, those eyes that shone with emerald green light and his handsome face were enough to make anyone easily indulge in it.

"Uh... you got off work so early today?"

Sammy felt that the atmosphere was really strange, so he looked away and asked a question casually.

As a result, everything sexy and handsome disappeared immediately.

Mickey's face sank, and he said unhappily, "Don't do it."

"What? But you've only been there for three days..." Sammy said in surprise.

"Yeah, I didn't waste too much time." Mai Qilong answered plausibly.

If so...

That Sammy was really speechless.

When he was comforted just now, he felt a sense of relief, like 'the cub who has been raised for several months is finally sensible and knows how to be considerate of his old father'.

But now...

"Look for a job slowly, and sooner or later you will find a suitable one."

Sammy can only be so comforted.

Mikey nodded obediently.

But no one knows what he was thinking.

However, based on the importance he had shown to Sammy before, Rossi finally changed his view on him a little, and changed the identity of the other party from 'even if his background is poor, but he eats and drinks for free, eats and cooks for nothing, and has to find a way to drive him away sooner or later. The rogue' has risen to 'young age but still has a conscience, barely able to communicate with, but still needs to focus on the oil bottle'.

It can be seen that although Sammy's taking in Mickey has not been opposed, it has not been recognized by the surrounding friends.

Especially the defensive Rosie.

He looks like an ordinary otaku with glasses, and he usually communicates well. But in fact, gentleness is just a disguise, and the nature is very shrewd and difficult to deal with, and it is not so easy to get along with.

Many times, even Sammy couldn't handle him.

Simple example...

Sammy sometimes joins him online to discuss some story ideas and ideas.

Under normal circumstances, the tastes of two people are still close, and they can communicate and understand each other smoothly.

But occasionally, Sammy would have some whimsical thoughts.

The brain holes of art creators are always comparable to black holes.

But the problem is that he didn't say it himself, and he still held Rosie to death and wanted him to agree with him.

Every time, he is also aggressive with a fighting look of 'I'm right, I must convince you'.

But Rossi is a very pragmatic character, it is impossible to agree with him, and he does not want to argue with him.

Therefore, at this time, his response method is: don't say right, don't say wrong, just go offline and disappear.

So, every time Sammy chatted and talked at a critical moment, he found that the person was gone? No reply for half a day.

At this time, his emotions usually start from 'why didn't you reply to me, do you think it's wrong' such anger; then develop to the doubts of 'where have you been, are you busy'; then, after the mood has eased , 'Look at me saying this...' various interpretations; it finally becomes a reflection of 'Okay, I think about it, it's not quite right...'.

Wait until he thinks about it.

Rossi went back on the line as if nothing had happened: "What did you say so much? I just went to the toilet."

Sammy: "… "

If you count forward a few years, Rossi still has a youthful and energetic side. But since the impulsive quarrel with people caused the career to be blocked, the whole person has become a lot more indifferent.

He now neither likes to waste his time with people, nor does he support any senseless violence. Once you encounter something, first keep yourself out of the way and watch from the sidelines. When the time is right, calmly make a simple choice of A or B from 'to add fuel to the fire' and 'to pour a pot of cold water'.

In a way, it's a bit nasty and annoying.

But it is precisely because of his calmness and sobriety that Sammy and everyone in the team are still confused and don't know what to do next...

He pushed his glasses habitually, and confidently gave everyone a very firm conclusion: "Don't worry for the time being, this is not over. Our cartoons are not made for nothing, just wait patiently, there will definitely be beneficial."

A word is a proverb.

Any big company that can develop a little scale, has not gone downhill, and is still on an upward trend will not easily let go of talents.

As a result, all members of the temporary animation production team soon ushered in a new round of job transfers.

Jack, who was originally just a rookie animator, skipped the internship period and was transferred to the popular animation production team that was newly established, but the company invested a lot of money and attached great importance to it; photographer Gavin directly joined this year's main animation "Rabbit". The production team of "Nana"; Rosie made minor changes, but finally got a small promotion and became the head of the department.

As for Sammy...

His change is the biggest. Whether it is a department or a position, a huge change has taken place magically. He was directly transferred from the creative department to a TV drama team called "The Adventures of Young Aaron" to be an assistant to the director of this TV series.

As for why there is such a big change

Or the follow-up problem brought by the animation "Who Killed the Dragon".

In fact, when Sammy and the others thought the animation was unpopular and unpopular...

Several management personnel headed by Norris from the film and television entertainment department once gathered in the screening room and watched this short animation over and over ten times.

In the animation industry, basic appreciation is all online.

Although this animation does not conform to the company's promotion line, it is difficult to put it on the market for distribution, but this does not hinder the appreciation and love of this animation by the company's top executives.

And, by watching this animation repeatedly, they also noticed one person - the main creator of the animation, Sammy Griffin.

Sammy, who was originally an ordinary employee of the creative department, successfully passed this animation and came to them with a new attitude.

This employee, who they thought was ordinary at first, just had a lot of bizarre ideas in their minds, in this just a few minutes of animation production, unexpectedly showed the 'still immature, but already unique, almost like a ghost' Director talent.

Those suggestive close-ups, a flashback from time to time, and the excellent creation of a bizarre atmosphere, with almost no flaws, greatly increase the visibility and narrative tension of the animation itself, which is amazing.

It can be said that in this rudimentary clay animation, whether it is the music, the camera lens, the narrative method... it is only after his integration, patchwork, and meticulous modification that the gloomy yet meaningful expression can be smoothly presented. Mystery.

However, what surprised everyone even more was that this employee named Sammy had never had directing experience before, nor had he received relevant learning.

That said, this animation is entirely a natural outburst and display of his personal talent.

For a while, everyone was silent.

Although the company has not had work of this type and style before.

But Norris, the head of the film and television entertainment department, took the lead in proposing that talents should not be missed.

After their discussion, they thought that they could give a chance to try to cultivate people in the direction of the director. There is no need to deliberately promote the growth of the seedlings, and watch his development slowly, maybe it will bring some surprises in the future.

This is how Sammy received a transfer notice with a wide range, or that a turning point in his life is coming.

But at this time, he was still ignorant of his so-called directing talent.

After receiving such an inter-departmental transfer notice, he felt strange, but since he had never been in contact with the real crew before, out of the psychology of wanting to see new things, he simply went to the crew to report to the director.

Before going, he was full of curiosity and anticipation: "How are real actors filmed? They must not be as easy to direct as those clay dolls, but they should have a more interesting side? I am going to be an assistant to the director, then I am Can't you see with your own eyes how the director directs the scene? Can he control the scene? Cool, I can't wait to see it for myself!"

But unfortunately, imagination is always beautiful.

The crew let him down.
