Whether it's thanks to the help of short animations or not.
The end result is that the box office of "Happy Life" has been soaring.
Someone might have made a fortune out of it.
But it certainly wouldn't be Sammy.
Later, the crew of "Happy Life" also held a celebration banquet.
Except for the self-respecting Mr. Director, everyone seemed happy.
Obviously, in the greedy Hollywood kingdom, most people still agree with Ed's point of view, and the box office is good.
As for the dignity of the creator, please, can you eat it
So, to them, the whole thing was simple: "Wow, I'm in a movie!" "This movie is a fucking high box office!" "I'll show it off for the rest of my life." Starting today, I am also a high-level talent involved in the production of high-box-office films!"
As for the reasons for the high box office, and after the film was broadcast, it received some bad reviews…
A few years later, who remembers
Rossi was a little indignant about this.
He deliberately secretly posted several photos of the "Happy Life" crew's celebration banquet in the chat group created for the convenience of everyone to talk about work when he was producing the "Killing the Dragon" animation. In these few photos, countless people are well-dressed, with smiles on their faces, staggered, champagne piled up in the house, and luxury cars parked outside the door.
Take a look, take a good look!
Obviously we also got credit, but we got nothing.
Are you not convinced
Are you jealous
Are you not satisfied
Want to get up and running
However…
Former young rookie animator: [It looks so lively. ]
Photographer Gavin: [This picture should be retouched, look here, picture 1, skin color contrast, picture 2, shadow contrast… ]
Sammy: [I'm so tired, my dragon-slaying sword has finally taken shape, Figure 123, but I haven't had lunch today. ]
Mikey: [Happy! During the promotion today, someone invited me to eat candy! Human cub handing candy to teddy bear.JPG]
Ellie: [Rosie! ! ! ! ! ! ! I asked you to accompany me shopping, didn't you say busy with work? Is this your job? ]
Rossi: […]
Why aren't you people motivated at all
Rossi is heartbroken!
In his heart, the exhaustion of 'the teammates are not good enough, one god leads five pits' and the grief of 'may be forever difficult to achieve' rose again in his heart.
It does!
Since the response of "Who Killed the Dragon" was very good, when faced with the members of the original production team of this animation, everyone in the company had a feeling of 'these boys can't do it from now on A bright future' idea.
But not at all.
Rossi wants to continue to climb the management level, but his qualifications are not enough. Although his grades are considered to be good, he is not so good. As a result, everyone thinks he is a threat, but he cannot be promoted to the position; the situation of photographer Gavin also It didn't get much better. Although he was highly skilled, he couldn't find a suitable team due to his personality. On the contrary, the new animator was relatively better, because he was a newcomer and was lucky enough to participate in such a good movie. Animation, just give out a little bonus, indicating that it can be easily appeased if you pay attention.
As for Sammy...
To be honest, the company has no idea where to put such a director with a very serious personal style!
Staying on the cast of Aaron's Adventures
Although the success of the fourth season, he played a big role in it, but after all, if you don't fully join the crew, you can't figure out how important he is in it. Moreover, it seems unreasonable to fire Director Jones for no reason and let him take the position;
Then invest another sum of money to support him in making a cartoon similar to "Who Killed the Dragon"
It doesn't seem to work either. Although film critics praised "Who Killed the Dragon", claiming that it is a short animation that is very worthwhile for adults to think about, it is well known that many film critics like things that can't be sold at all! For a rookie director (yes, Sammy is a rookie, even if he managed to make two films), it's not safe to invest too much.
In a word, no light, no heavy, it is too difficult to arrange.
Based on this embarrassing situation, Sammy, who had achieved certain achievements, was 'in the cold' (actually, he just didn't know how to explain the 'difficulty to arrange' for him).
To what extent have you been left out
When Sammy was addicted to making stainless steel dragon-slaying swords and didn't show up at the company for two weeks in a row, no one asked.
People in the company thought he was following the crew of "The Adventures of Aaron";
And the crew of "The Adventures of Aaron" obviously thinks that he is still in the company and clocks in seriously every day;
As for his friends and relatives...
Everyone thought for the best, thinking that he had finally turned around this time, that his talents had been displayed, and that he was highly valued.
Finally, Sammy officially came out with the shining dragon-slaying sword!
As a result, he excitedly drew his sword and looked around, only to find that he was forgotten by everyone.
If it were a normal person, it would definitely be very depressed and troubled. Take the time to go out and brush your presence around.
But Sammy had a mentally retarded thought of 'Hey, since no one's looking for me, then I'll go home and play'.
So he went back home without a word, and ran to the studio to beat and beat, planning to get himself a dragon slaying armor while he was free, completely immersed in his own world...
At the same time, when he was messing around at home...
The fourth season of "Aaron's Adventures" finally ushered in a pivotal plot twist with a huge twist.
In previous episodes, Aaron and his non-human friends have developed a deep friendship.
Together they explored the forest outside the villa, fished together, swam together, raced on the lawn together, went through hardships together, but also created countless happy memories together.
Just while Aaron was playing with these non-human friends...
Mr. Ghost, who seems to have amnesia, is looking for something every day, but doesn't know what he is looking for, always reminds him every morning: "A living human should not always be in contact with non-human beings."
But when they don't know each other well, Aaron can still be a little wary...
But as he became more and more fun with his non-human friends, he basically ignored this dissuasion.
However, the holidays always end.
The Aaron family will soon be leaving the country house and returning to city life.
But none of the non-human characters, led by Teddy Bear, want to accept that fact.
Before that, the audience had watched Aaron and non-human beings get along happily for a long time. The initial freshness was gradually disappearing, and human interest was difficult to last. If there is no more interesting plot, the ratings Honestly, it doesn't seem to be able to maintain the previous state.
But at this stage, the plot took a turn.
The once warm, friendly, lovable, good-natured non-human characters finally showed their negative side.
They got together and talked a lot, and they all disagreed about 'Aaron's departure'.
"Aren't friends supposed to be together?" "Aren't we having a good time?" "Why should we leave? Will there be lush and beautiful woods, flowing rivers, singing birds and green grass in the city? "Aaron should stay with us. His parents are not good to him at all. They even found such a fierce tutor for him before!"
Of these non-human characters, teddy bears were the most violent.
- You can come when you want, leave when you want, hug when you want, and abandon when you want, isn't the bear sad? Isn't the bear sad
- Do you think that because my fabric is faux fur and stuffed with fluffy cotton, not high-grade angora, or South American alpaca, which looks cheap, bulky, and worn out, I have no soul, no heart
-you are wrong! Bears have the same soul as you! Bear's heart is exactly the same as yours!
—If the creator of the bear is willing to use high-grade angora wool or South American alpaca wool for my fabrics and fillings, and then use expensive pearls and gems for my eyes, would you still leave the bear? Would you still be willing to leave the bear? You must be inseparable from the bear, because you may only be able to afford one such expensive bear in your life.
- Standing at the feet of God, we should be equal to each other!
- I don't dislike that you are too poor to buy famous brand teddy bears, and you can't dislike that I don't have high-grade angora wool, South American alpaca wool and pearls, gem eyes! !
The oversized teddy bear, whose size had doubled in size, roared like a grudge, and raised its paw high.
What's even more amazing is that all the audience who saw this scene seemed to feel the endless pain in Teddy Bear's heart.
The huge dramatic tension brought about by that grief and anger came through the screen like a stormy sea.
All the audience were shocked.
But that's a puppet bear!
It looks like a bear anyway!
This actor is amazing!
How on earth did he show so much emotion through his bear-like appearance
This is the best part of Michaelon's entire play.
Absolute truth revealed.
The poor dragon who has lost his treasure, understands the pain of this teddy bear without high-grade angora wool, South American alpaca and pearls, jewel eyes!
At this moment, it is poverty that makes the souls of the characters and actors achieve synchronization and fusion at this moment. Together, they interpret the pain of the poor ghost on the screen, and even their eyes are full of endless sad light.
Under such an almost real sad look, Aaron, the protagonist who wanted to laugh while watching the lines off the field, was also brought into the play.
He backed away in panic, and fell to the floor in a very embarrassed manner.
The lights of the villa flickered uncertainly, but the simple and cute teddy bear showed a ferocious and angry expression on weekdays.
At this time, after seeing this scene, all those who are familiar with Sammy will probably show helpless expressions invariably, and then curse in a low voice: "Damn monster complex!"
But no way, some things are just so strange.
In this world, since there are some people who "suffer from gigantic phobia, when they see very big things, they will be afraid to faint"; naturally there will also be people like Sammy who "like giant monsters very much, the bigger they are, the more they like it" people.
You know, when I was young, a certain round-faced dwarf secretly chanted a magnifying spell (from a certain fairy tale book) to the cat at home for a week, trying to magnify it a hundred times.
Unfortunately, this incident only proves that he is a No-Maj without magic power.
But this doesn't affect him from time to time when he is engaged in creation, to satisfy himself with public welfare...
For example, it's fun to create a big monster in a TV show.
So, for this shot, Sammy deliberately took Aaron's point of view.
At this time, the audience sitting in front of the TV can only bring themselves into Aaron's perspective, and look up with him at the oversized teddy bear that suddenly transformed, extremely burly and terrifying, with a furious expression. In the shadows, trembling!
But Sammy wasn't satisfied.
He also directed the photographer to do something very (mourning) with (heart) creative (sickness) intention (madness).
Handmade glass beads were often used in the early years when making eyes like teddy bears.
But later, out of cost and safety considerations, it was replaced with a plastic material that is not easy to break and cheap, but many inferior plastic materials have not enough eyeballs and no pupils.
So, in this show, the teddy bear's eyes are made of handmade glass beads.
then…
On the entire screen, a large close-up shot of a glass eyeball suddenly appeared!
The transparent glass beads seemed to have cracks faintly due to anger.
Therefore, the audience in front of the TV can still clearly see that in the bright lights, the bear's artificial hair is blown up in anger, but in the bear's glass eyes, it is clearly reflected. Aaron's figure was extremely frightened, but because of the cracks, the figure seemed to be split, and there was a strange sense of fragmentation.
That weird scene composition...
It's almost like a person has been locked in some kind of 'eyeball prison about to burst', making the hair stand on end.
- It's so scary!
Countless children were so frightened that they howled on the spot.
That night, the TV station's complaint call was blown up.
Parents angry: "Are you fucking sick? Why are you showing horror movies to kids?"
The TV operator was so at a loss: "What? We don't broadcast horror movies, are you mistaken?"
"That shit 'Aaron's Adventures,' a big eyeball all over the screen, scares people to death."
"Sorry, but... that drama, I don't remember it being a horror movie, right?"
Parents: "How dare you say it's not a horror movie! My kids were so scared that they threw away all the new teddy bears they bought. What the hell! Last week they were crying for it, and now they're throwing it away! It's all your fault, do you know how expensive this crap is? But I just found out that it's even more expensive! Someone really buys some high-quality angora, alpaca and pearls, gem-eyed teddy Bear, this is too rich! Hey, does anyone really buy it?"
What is this all about
Are you not complaining? Why gossip again? This is not a sales hotline for buying teddy bears either!
The TV operator, who didn't follow "Aaron's Adventures" at all, was dazed.
She had to laugh and cry patiently: "Uh, I'm sorry? Regarding the horror movie, I will report it to you immediately and give you feedback as soon as possible. As for the wool you mentioned, uh, does anyone have a pearl and gem-eyed teddy bear? Buy, I'm sorry, I don't know."
A long time later, when Aaron's Adventures had a chance to rerun and sell DVD, the final segment of the episode, when the teddy bear burst into resentment, terrorized Aaron, and, best of all, Sammy Glass Eyeball Lenses…
It's all been deleted! !
In fact, there are not many deletions, that is, five or six minutes.
But it's really shocking.
Sammy didn't understand anything about it.
When he heard the news, he grabbed his hair randomly with his hands, and felt very broken: "How interesting that part is! When I finished filming, I watched it specially, and it wasn't scary at all. Really, I watched it haha. Lol, don't you think it's funny? (Everyone: ... no.) One person is reflected in the eyeballs, what a great idea! I love it so much, it took me a lot of effort to shoot this scene , and then…”
- No indecent language, no bare skin, and no violence whatsoever. The teddy bear has always been simply threatening and angry, without really doing anything at all. Even if it is possible to do it, I did not shoot the details into the plot, at most with a little hint.
- So, why do you still have to cut it off
- What did you say, the child was crying
- Why do you want to blame me when the child is crying? They are so timid, they will cry when they see a little bug.
—If they want to cry, let them cry.
-It's like every puppy barks, crying is also a child's birthright, why stop it? !
—Listen to me, ignore them, make them cry!
It's fine at the beginning, but what about the rest? ?
Everyone heard the blue veins and jumped: ... Can you learn to be a person? !
What is ignoring, what is making them cry
Are you from Disney
Are you afraid it's not fake
Disney obviously brings hopes and dreams to children, but you wonder what it is to make children have nightmares every day
Do you know, it's because you always do this kind of thing!
The executives of the company don't know how to arrange you!
All in all, Sammy's favorite scene was definitely cut out.
He was extremely dissatisfied with this, thinking that everyone could not understand his inherently humorous and funny soul, so he wrote this on Twitter: [Warriors should not be reduced to servants to coax children. ]
No one cared at the time, but years later...
This tweet was picked up by fans and ridiculed: [Hehe, it's like you have children. ]
Ignore these future events.
After the teddy bear revealed his identity as the ultimate big boss, Mai Qilong went home.
no way.
When it aired before, the person in charge of the review obviously ignored the terrifying degree of teddy bear transformation.
They probably thought naively at the time: [What's so scary about a bear toy growing up to act as a villain'? So, this show is still a Disney fairy tale after all, right? Even the villain is just a common teddy bear. Compared with the 'Villa Ghost' submitted before, the horror level has almost plummeted to the lowest level. Still using audit? pass. ]
However, what they don't know is that in fact, it's okay to be afraid of unfamiliar things; but the more familiar and even favorite things in daily life, suddenly give people a terrifying face change, that is the real psychological shadow of a lifetime. !
So, in a moment of negligence, the terrifying scene that scared countless children to tears was broadcast.
Even if it is edited again in the subsequent replay, the damage that has already been caused cannot be made up.
In the next publicity of the crew, the teddy bear was naturally strongly resisted by the audience.
This directly leads to the fact that the human cubs who used to hand out candy to the teddy bear played by Mickey Dragon, who want to hug, now cry loudly as soon as they see him: "Bad... Bad bear! Dad, break it. Bear!"
The inexplicable 'everyone shouts and fights' is really a huge grievance:
'… Are all humans so fickle? You called me Xiong Tiantian yesterday, but today I'm a bad bear? '
Faced with this situation, Director Jones also hinted frantically: "How about you move freely in the near future?"
"Okay." Mike had no choice but to go home with his head down.
He actually enjoys being liked and touted by humans these days.
However, the world is too unfriendly to dragons.
But what he didn't know was that there was something even more unfriendly.
That day, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Sammy rubbing his hands excitedly, with a happy and mysterious smile on his face.
Then, the round-faced little man waved at him excitedly: "Come on, Mickey, I'll show you a big baby!"
He happily flew towards him like a bird, but suddenly pulled out the stainless steel dragon slaying sword from behind that he couldn't wait to show off, but never had a place to show it off: "Look, it's cool. Come on!"
Why hasn't this happened yet
Mickey let out the dragon howl of 'Mom, I'm still a baby' in his heart, and showed a weak smile in extreme discomfort: "Yeah, that's cool!"
If there is really no way to resist life, it seems that you can only enjoy it.
Michaelon thinks that he can't continue to be intimidated like this.
He's about to have a nervous breakdown!
Is there no dragon with nervous breakdown in this world
If you say it, you will be laughed to death and become the shame of the dragon family!
And, the days are still to come.
Therefore, he resolutely decided to overcome the psychological obstacles, try to adapt to the peculiar preferences of a certain round-faced dwarf for 'dragon slaying', and try to regard the 'dragon' in the other's mouth as a being that is not of the same species as himself, By the way, when the other party asked about the suggestion of 'slaughtering the dragon', he retaliated by talking nonsense.
Still very simple.
Especially considering that 'even if he is not an adult, but a little guy with a round face calling himself a warrior, he can't beat himself at all, and he can only talk about it', some things are not worth fearing at all.
But Sammy didn't realize the other party's perfunctory at all, and thought that he had finally found a life confidant who had the same interests and shared dreams.
He likes Mickey more and more, because in his opinion, not everyone can be like Mickey, willing to naively believe in 'there are dragons in the world' with him!
(Mickey: "Bullshit, how could I think I don't exist!")
For Sammy, this 'support' has been a huge encouragement.
After all, he was the only one who was immersed in the world of 'Warriors Slaying Dragons', and was often disliked by relatives and friends. Although he didn't care, he was occasionally a little lonely.
Now he has finally found a friend!
He was inspired by his creative career without inspiration for a long time, as if someone suddenly stuffed some fuel into the fire... So, after a few sparks that were about to go out, the spark that was about to go out flashed, and then it burned again!
Under the bewildered gaze of Mickey...
Sammy used his pen like an enclave to create a simple script, the content is still new wine in old bottles - dragons rage, warriors rise to slay the dragon!
Among them, the plot is ups and downs, intricate, and the text is wanton and majestic!
Mike Long stood for a long time and sighed silently.
- What can I do with the human beings I found
He turned around and picked up the stainless steel dragon slaughtering sword that had fallen out of favor after showing it off, and had been thrown aside. He took it to the kitchen and cut a watermelon for Sammy.
