Raising Dragons in Hollywood

Chapter 19: Slap Flatbread Coalition

Views:

Although Mai Qilong enthusiastically expressed his desire to 'help', even at the risk of 'being hidden'.

Director Sammy did not immediately agree.

He has always been picky and strict in his work. He did not take favoritism or relax his requirements for actors because the other party was his friend. Instead, he took it more seriously.

Considering the original 'Villa Ghost', today's 'Teddy Bear' has no special image requirements for the time being, and is also a supporting role in the drama. As a newcomer, Mickey, if his performance can be around the pass line, then it's not a bad idea. Not a try.

Thinking of this...

Although he was very tired, Sammy did not go back to bed immediately to rest. Instead, he took out the newly written script from his bag. After opening it, he lowered his head and patiently wrote the 'teddy bear' script with a pen. The scenes are all drawn out.

Out of special care for his friends, he also deliberately circled some links that need to be paid attention to, and occasionally wrote a few key words as reminders. He handed it to Mickey with a cautious look, and emphasized in a businesslike manner: "If, I mean, if you really want to give it a try, look at the script tonight, and then look at the part you are going to play. If there is no problem, You can show it to me tomorrow. But I declare in advance that I have high requirements for the role, and it is impossible to give you any special care just because you are my friend. "

Michaelon looked shocked - the dragon is willing to help, you should thank God for agreeing immediately, and it's still tomorrow!

But his round-faced human friend was as dull as ever, unaware that the dragon was sulking again.

but…

Michaelon turned his head sideways and looked at the little round face who had not been idle since he entered the door.

He tilted his head so tiredly, half-closed his eyes, and slumped into the sofa, looking small and pitiful.

But even if that's the case, he still didn't forget to talk weakly: "This role is not difficult, but you need to work hard if you want to be brilliant, Mickey, you must do your best..."

The light in the living room quietly shone on the man's face, and he could clearly see the blue and black under his eyes.

How can humans be so stupid

If you are tired, go to rest first, what do you do all the time!

You're annoyed to death, you know!

In such a situation, no matter how much dissatisfaction there is in the heart.

Mikey couldn't speak.

The next day, when Sammy just woke up from a deep sleep, he was taken aback, or a surprise.

Michaelon stood on the other side of his bed, with wide eyes, he held his right hand very tenderly, and read a long line: [You are right, I made my life in trouble, but Deep down, I've always been very scared... honestly, kid. Tell me, have you really never done a cruel thing in your life? ]

This was probably the most impressive audition for the director.

But looking at the proud gaze of a certain dragon offering treasure...

Sammy can only say helplessly: "Mickey, can you go out. Um, let me put my pants on first?"

Mikey is a genius.

In other words, this dragon was born to be a showman.

The hardest thing a human actor can do when playing a character is breaking the ego.

But Long has no problems in this regard. He has never had any psychological obstacles to acting, let alone any time when he can't let go (probably lacks human morality), and, when acting, he still has a very sense of presence.

This sense of presence may come from the dragon's innate advantage.

When he doesn't want to attract attention, it's like an ambush before hunting, silent and pretending to be non-existent, but when he wants to spread his wings, soar into the sky, breathe flames, and declare his territory. , and no one can ignore him.

So, if he wants you to focus on himself...

You can only look at him, see him at a glance!

Sister Corinna later recalled the scene when Sammy brought Mickey to the set of "The Adventures of Young Aaron" and said: "Mickey was probably the most handsome man I have ever seen in my life. That day, He strode in with Sammy with his head held high, as if he was a born king patrolling his territory (it was indeed patrolling the territory, but it was just the patrol of dragons), tall and handsome, looking forward to flying, that His green eyes burned like fire with everything he saw."

Sadly, he's playing the role of a teddy bear who wears a hood most of the time.

Michaelon was very dissatisfied with this.

When trying out the costumes at the costumer, his whole dragon fell into the question of 'how on earth did my dignified super-luxurious flame dragon fall to run to play a silly-looking bear, and be dismissed as not being fat enough' Confused in thought...

But he thought about it for a long time, and his mind was full of Sammy lying on the sofa last night, biting his lower lip in thought, while wearily helping him focus on the script: "Strange, am I cursed? ?"

Ignoring the ramblings on Michael's side, Sammy was still busy dealing with the crew's problems.

He is discussing the next shooting plan with Director Jones.

It is impossible to shoot in the order in which the story develops in normal shooting.

In order to save money, scenes that take place in the same venue are often shot together.

If it's the kind of long drama that goes from fathers to sons...

In the first scene, the son was born, and the father was ecstatic; in the next scene, the father died, and the grown son returned home from the funeral.

Senior actors have long been accustomed to this kind of operation, crying one second, laughing the next, and can change freely.

But many rookie actors often fall into this step.

Fortunately, the scale of this drama is relatively small, the location of the incident is relatively concentrated, and the shooting is not so difficult.

However, due to the temporary change of the plot, the shooting time left for them is still very urgent.

To make sure every minute is used efficiently...

Sammy racked his brains to make the shooting plan very tight (dead), realistic (as much as possible) (day), and (good), anyway, several actors saw such a time-squeezing schedule, and suddenly had the urge to swear on the streets.

However, a little round-faced director who seemed to be good-natured and bullied, showed a very cruel and unkind side in this crew.

One of the crew members asked for leave and was so angry that he cried.

Director Jones, who has been 'seized' and turned into the mascot of the crew, ran to gossip with nothing to do: "What's wrong?"

The employee took the opportunity to complain: "I asked for leave yesterday because I was not feeling well, and the bastard asked me if I was feeling well. I told him it was a cold, but he said no, because a cold is not a disease, so I had to come. I asked him in anger. , then what counts as a disease? A broken limb only counts as a disease, so you can't come? Do you know what he said? He said it doesn't count.

Director Jones tried his best to hold back his laughter and comforted the staff well for Sammy.

Afterwards, he reminded Sammy: "Don't push too hard."

Sammy nodded silently.

He didn't want to do this either, but building mutual trust is not a matter of a day or two, expecting to shout a few slogans and talk about dreams, all the crew members will consciously unite and obey the command, which is obviously unscientific.

Therefore, if you want to integrate the entire crew in the shortest possible time.

The easiest way to establish authority is to show an unfriendly and severe side and show a 'fire whoever doesn't obey' attitude.

However, these employees of the crew are obviously idle for too long, and they are completely unsuited to this fast-paced high-pressure life.

What's more, although they are low-level employees, they have been in the circle for many years, and they are usually very talkative, but they are really controlled, but none of them are convinced. In particular, Sammy was just a rookie director at the beginning, and he was a rookie director who had humbly asked them some basic questions. Thinking of this, he was even more unconvinced.

So, when Sammy was all about making the next episodes...

There was a 'slapping that bun' resistance alliance in the crew.

The members of this alliance also invented all sorts of code words, and whenever Sammy was there, they would inexplicably discuss things like 'cut the bun in half, put cheese sticks, sliced ham, lettuce leaves, mayonnaise... ok La! Eat it now in big gulps and viciously'.

Apparently, Mickey wasn't the only dragon who discovered the secret of 'round face like bread'.

Many external employees who are not clear about the situation and just come to help temporarily are all at a loss.

They may have mistakenly thought that the lousy drama "The Adventures of Young Aaron" was finally broken and changed into some strange food drama.

Mickey didn't know if Sammy had discovered the alliance, but he discovered it shortly after he joined the crew.

And because he was born beautiful, when many people brought buns to eat, they also stuffed him with one.

On the one hand, it is short-sighted by eating people, but on the other hand, it feels wronged for its own human beings.

After some intense inner struggle, Michaelon chose to inform Sammy.

He stretched out his finger and poked at the small round face of his human friend: "You know what, little fool? Don't be foolish all day long, the bun they say every day is you! Those people can be bad or bad. , no matter how nice you are, I don’t appreciate it. On the surface, I smile at you, but behind my back, I bite the bread hard. Only I am the best for you, because I eat the buns one by one…”

What the hell!

Sammy stared at him blankly, as if he didn't understand at all.

But afterwards, he changed the crew's breakfast to buns, and told everyone quite naturally: "As long as you work hard, you can mention what you want to eat, and you don't need to bring your own. Although the crew is currently in difficulty , but the food can still be guaranteed.”

The complaining Mickey was stunned by the development.

At this moment, he felt in his heart that the thinking of a little fool is really different from that of a dragon.

If there is a dragon who dares to use a nickname behind his own back, he also uses all kinds of metaphors...

For example, 'that tall and thin baguette should be cut into pieces, thrown into a frying pan and fried with oil', he will definitely burst into flames and teach dragons to be dragons with flames!

However, Director Jones, who is a human, doesn't actually understand what this operation is.

He thought to himself, "Am I really getting old and unable to keep up with the trend of the times?"

But natural stay also has the benefits of natural stay.

When everyone in the crew faced the buns on the table, they couldn't help showing a guilty expression of embarrassment.

This kind of guilty conscience made them unable to fight against Sammy's command for a while.

Without these distractions, the next shooting suddenly became smoother.

In response, Sammy scratched the back of his head, smiled stupidly, and continued to work with satisfaction.

One night, Mickey woke up from his sleep, noticed that the living room still had lights, and crept over to discover that it was his human being watching footage shot during the day.

It's different from the strictness of the fashion model when shooting...

At this moment, he fully revealed his true nature, just like a little boy immersed in his own secret world, focused, happy, and focused, he laughed hahaha when he looked at it, under the bright light, those lovely pair of cute His round eyes were as bright as little stars falling from the sky.

"Ah! My human is so beautiful." Mai Qilong thought blankly.

Regardless of his height of almost two meters, he squeezed shyly like a girl, with his big paws, no, now his hands, embarrassedly covered his slightly red face, as if it was just the word 'my human', let him There was a hint of sweetness in my heart after chewing.
