"Are you all right, Norris?"
Ed from the Marketing Department pretended to be concerned, but in fact asked faintly gloating: "I heard that the very talented newcomer you highly recommended, what is the name of the little guy from Sammy, actually gave up the opportunity you fought for him and didn't participate in it? The company's selection of new directors this year, but went to shoot a bad drama that is about to be cut off?"
"No way, young people always have their own dreams."
Norris of the film and television entertainment department answered calmly and calmly.
This calm attitude successfully stunned Ed.
Although he was not very optimistic about the director named Sammy, he, who was more interested in interests, immediately put aside his previous attempts to laugh at the idea that 'Norris tried his best, but the newcomer was not appreciative', and turned to be suspicious. He asked humbly, "So, in your opinion, could there be salvation for that drama?"
"It must be hopeless."
Norris replied calmly.
Ed: ... It didn't save you so confident P!
"But young people always have the courage to do it. Talented people are worth investing in." Norris said with a smile.
Ed couldn't help rolling his eyes: "I'm the most annoying people like you, what kind of talent are you talking about! Please, that kind of invisible and intangible thing, who knows whether it exists? In my opinion, Talent is what makes money; as for shooting a bunch of messy people who can’t understand the stuff, it’s best to pack up and go home as soon as possible.”
Norris smiled helplessly, not wanting to argue with him.
But Ed was annoyed at this for no reason, and also shouted out of the question: "It's not that I have to talk more, but we have worked together for many years... Norris, it's not easy for you to get here step by step. It's not easy to be in control now. , but chose such an unsatisfactory garbage. Do you know what your behavior is? This is suicide!"
"You're overthinking it, it's just a small-scale TV series, and there won't be any trouble." Norris reminded dumbfoundedly.
Ed didn't listen to it, but instead said plausibly: "This time there will be no problem, but next time? Brother, if you don't change your behavior, sooner or later you will suffer."
At the other end, Rossi was also mad when he learned that Sammy had secretly taken over the filming of "The Adventures of Young Aaron".
He made a direct phone call and said, "Are you an idiot? Is there still a need to save the show? You don't take advantage of the bright future and opportunities, and you insist on doing such thankless things. You are worthy of my troubles before. A tip-off?"
However, Sammy is enthusiastically working with the writers on the script for the fourth season follow-up.
Facing the almost severe accusation from his friend, he didn't realize what was going on for a while, so he gave a series of out-of-state responses very unconscionably: "What? You tipped me off, what's the matter? I'm sorry, I I've been so busy lately that I accidentally forgot. Would you remind me of something important?"
(Rosie's exasperated scolding is heard on the other end of the phone.)
"...Oh, I remembered it. You said that the selection of the new director of the company is not a big deal. I gave up."
(Rosie yells on the phone.)
"Don't be angry, it's not good to be angry, and anger will cause wrinkles, you speak slowly, speak slowly."
(Rosie continues to scold in anger.)
"The Adventures of Young Aaron is a lot of fun, you know? We have a huge pyramid model in our crew, and I took a photo with it yesterday, and I'll send it to you later."
(Rosie grows silent.)
"By the way, there is one more thing. My hair has grown out and I want to dye it again. Are you free to come and play with me recently? Help me adjust a dye cream by the way, I don't want to dye it pink anymore, it's too gay ."
Rossi didn't want to talk to him.
Rossi hung up the phone.
Sammy looked at his phone for no reason, wondering what his friend was doing with such a phone call, and acting so angry.
He turned around and planned to continue to study the script, but he met a pair of eyes full of 'admiration': "Uh, what's wrong?"
It was not until the original screenwriter of "The Adventures of Young Aaron" left that he was temporarily assigned, and he had no sense of presence in the crew. Kent, who could only be regarded as a crappy screenwriter, shook his head silently. He just felt that the assistant director, from In terms of thinking mode, it is indeed a bit beyond ordinary people.
Of course Sammy didn't know all the ramblings in the little screenwriter's mind.
"I've got a brilliant idea!" he announced cheerfully.
To rule out the tragic question of 'the actor grows stronger' earlier.
In fact, there is still a serious problem with the fourth season of "The Adventures of Young Aaron".
This drama is a follow-on drama, and the fourth season has aired about four or five episodes not long ago.
In other words, the previous plot has been fixed and there is no way to change it.
So, in the episode that aired, the Aaron family went on a trip again.
Because the ratings of the third season were a bit tragic, the fourth season did not dare to innovate again, so the plot returned to the old routine of 'holiday travel, encountering the sophistication'. At the same time, due to the reduction of funds, the Aaron family has no money to travel abroad. This time, they chose to go to the countryside, rent a country house, and live a leisurely vacation life.
But the protagonist's life is bound to be ups and downs.
During this vacation, Aaron's family began to lose things frequently, and encountered various strange things such as the sudden closing of the window, the sound of people walking around in the middle of the night, and the black cat squatting on the windowsill and watching silently.
According to the original plot, there should be a villa ghost (not too scary, after all, it is a family drama) as the BOSS of the whole drama. It may be for any reason, such as wanting to resurrect, find a substitute, find a lover in a previous life, etc.
In short, after the last round of destruction, the Aaron family will defeat it according to the past routine.
Then, the family went home happily.
End!
For the soon-to-be-disbanded crew, such a plot is unremarkable and unhelpful.
But there is one benefit, which is that it is completely effortless.
The crew members are all veteran employees of the show, and they have long been familiar with the work at hand;
Actors play their respective roles, and they are all used to acting after three seasons;
Therefore, in the face of such a routine plot, they don't need to direct at all, and they can shoot the script according to past experience. Of course, don't be too demanding about quality. It is precisely because of this that Director Jones can shoot drunk every day, and there is no accident at all.
But since Sammy decided to intervene, naturally this kind of routine cannot be allowed to continue.
Therefore, he temporarily put aside the actor's problem, and the first thing he did was to change the script.
"I have a brilliant idea."
Sammy said excitedly to the little screenwriter: "Kent, the villa ghost sounds too ordinary, and it has to be replaced with something else and better. Anyway, this ghost character has not officially appeared yet, so we just changed it to Teddy. Bear!"
The screenwriter of Kent is full of confusion: "Where is the teddy bear better than the ghost?"
"What, Teddy Bear?" The villa ghost actor was even more stunned.
At the new story discussion meeting held by the crew, he directly shouted unhappily: "When you hired me to act, you didn't say that! Just kidding, I'm so much like a teddy bear? What a mess? All the people here come to blindly direct and don't act!"
For the time being, let's not consider whether the actor is 'seeing the situation of the crew is not good, and taking the opportunity to find an excuse to break the contract'; or whether he wants the lion to speak up and take the opportunity to raise his salary; or, whether he is really at odds with Teddy Bear, Hate the character from the bottom of your heart
This is very troublesome for Sammy.
With the acquiescence of Director Jones, he finally tried to make some changes to the crew. Unexpectedly, the first order was rejected, and the actor quit directly. So, what should I do next
This is not the same as the last 'power capture' filming to prove one's ability.
During the last filming, the actors didn't know his details, and they were fooled for a while, so they behaved very obediently.
But if you don't come up with more chips as soon as possible, the previous advantage will be quickly exhausted.
You must know that the relationship between actors and directors is always very delicate. If a director wants to make a good show, then the most important thing he should do is to control his own cast.
Actors are not puppets, they can be directed at will.
Many experienced actors can keenly perceive whether a director can control the situation
Once they find that the director can't control the situation, they often choose to go their own way and not listen to the command. In this case, the shooting scene will immediately become a copy of the difficulty of hell.
So, no matter how anxious and troubled the heart is.
Sammy's 'The Actor Strikes' moment shows the excellent psychological qualities a director should have.
He didn't let anyone see his dissatisfaction and annoyance, with a small round face, he ignored the actor who was on strike, turned his head to the casting director in the crew and said calmly: "Since he doesn't want to act, then we Just replace."
At this moment, everyone in the crew was secretly looking at him.
Sitting in a chair, this little guy with a round face like a doll, obviously doesn't look sharp, but his style of action seems to be very resolute and resolute, and he is not threatened.
The actor who played the ghost of the villa was angry for a while, and found that no one was paying attention, so he had to leave in such a rage.
And Sammy held the newly revised script, as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "The person who should go is gone, then we will continue to discuss the new plot."
Director Jones, who sat drinking and watching with cold eyes, silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
Everyone in the crew couldn't figure out what the assistant director was doing again, and stopped again for a while.
In the eyes of outsiders, Sammy's 'seize power' was very successful, initially subduing the entire crew.
However, after the meeting...
Sammy was exhausted.
The entire discussion was a battlefield where the new director and the senior cast members battled their wits and courage repeatedly, and every minute and every second was a torment.
He had to pretend to be confident to confront the actors' doubts and insecurities; then put on a confident and optimistic attitude to cheer up the deadly negative emotions of the actors; in addition, he also had to face the actors who had been cut from their roles. Hostility and dissatisfaction, followed by an absolutely resolute gesture, to show an attitude of 'my orders will never change'.
Everything is exhausting.
That night, he dragged his exhausted and almost numb head back home, but enviously found that the netizen Mickey was full of energy, and even very excited, he was eating two slices of bread with sugar and cream.
When he saw Sammy, he greeted: "My dear friend, would you like some too? It's delicious."
Sammy was too tired to speak at all: "No way."
At this time, Mickey's handsome face suddenly showed an expression of extreme struggle.
After a few seconds, he reluctantly said, "Let me help you."
"What?" Sammy raised his head in confusion.
Mikey proudly announced loudly, "I'll help you, you won't be so tired."
"… but what can you do?"
Sammy wanted to appreciate it, but couldn't help laughing, and said softly, without malice, "You know nothing."
But Mickey was irritated by this sentence, and he wanted to show human beings a roc spreading his wings, flying into the sky, spitting flames, and setting a thousand miles ablaze!
But because the dragon was under the eaves, he resisted the urge and retorted angrily: "Nonsense, I know a lot! Didn't someone not listen to you today and wanted to strike? What is he doing, I'll take his place! "
"How did you know someone was on strike?" Sammy asked subconsciously.
Mickey rolled his eyes. He really didn't want to confess that he was worried about a certain bun, and even sneaked up to watch the work of humans, so he had to make up vaguely: "Uh, my brother and I are in the field of your crew. My wife's nephew's cousin worked together..."
Sammy: "… "
Mai Qilong was impatient: "So, do you want my help?"
This is the first time I have met someone who can ask for a role from a director and get such a righteous person.
Director Sammy laughed.
He joked: "Does this want me to unspoken rules for you?"
When Mickey Dragon first came to the human kingdom, he actually didn't know what unspoken rules were.
But he didn't want to be underestimated by humans, so he pretended to be experienced, experienced, and seemed to have seen everything, and waved his paws proudly: "What is that, a trivial matter! Come on, no problem!"
Sammy: "… "
