Raising Dragons in Hollywood

Chapter 31: Director, are you a devil?

Views:

In the eyes of others:

Snakes should have icy eyes, sharp fangs, and make a frightening hiss when angry, and usually swallow long and forked snake letters. The body is wet and cold, the character is cruel and ruthless, and it is extremely terrifying. .

However, in Sammy's eyes:

The snake's eyes are round and small, the teeth are pointed and pointed, the mouth is flat, and the whole body is pinched up and down. Well, it's soft and chubby. As for the character... Well, it's very cute. Not angry, and the body is slippery. It is very cool to hold on in summer.

then…

Under the skeptical gaze of the animal trainer, he took away the snake named Nana and played with it.

Nana is so sweet.

Sammy didn't even need to grab it, he automatically put his head on the side of the human neck, and at the same time his tail hung down, and naturally wrapped around the human body.

Then it stopped moving again.

The whole doesn't look like it's alive, it looks like a cool serpentine ornament.

But when I got to the shooting scene and knew that it was a real snake, this scene was simply amazing!

Rossi was also terrified.

But he has been working hard to bring back the IQ that he was scared off as soon as possible, and bravely raised all kinds of doubts: "This is not right, snakes shouldn't be so tame. Besides, you have never raised it before and have no feelings, why is it? So obedient? Something's wrong, something's wrong! Why are they so good in your hands? What have you done? Are you wearing something that scares snakes?"

Saying so...

Seems to be really good.

Sammy couldn't help touching the snake's head beside his neck with a little doubt, lowered his head to think for a while, and his expression gradually became thoughtful.

Then, under Rossi's eager eyes for answers...

He gave a high five: "I see!"

"Why?" Rossi hurriedly asked.

- Of course, it is the influence of the bloodline of the Dragon Slayer Warrior family!

- Come to think of it, our ancestors even slaughtered giant dragons, not to mention little snakes.

Rossi: …

Rossi: It makes sense, I, I almost believed it.

Sammy seems to have actually found evidence!

He took out his mobile phone excitedly for this, took an intimate triple shot of himself and the snake, and then decisively sent it to his own group to show off: [Look! have a look! I just said that our family is the descendant of the Dragon Slayer Warriors, you still don't believe it! Snakes are obediently daring to move beside me! Do you know what power this is? This is the power of bloodline! ]

His father was shocked: […]

His mother is worried: [Baby, you, you take that thing away, mother is afraid. ]

Sammy hurriedly comforted: [Mom, don't be afraid, although you are not the bloodline of the Dragon Slayer Warrior family, Dad will protect you. ]

His father replied weakly: [I'm sorry, son, I'm also a little scared. ]

His brothers: ! ! ?

His grandparents are confused:…

(Let's go back and look through the ancestral records, the stories we made up before have come true?)

But Sammy raised his eyebrows consciously.

The sadness that used to be always said to be cranky was all swept away.

to share this joy.

He tweeted a few more pictures, still close-ups of the boa constrictor that fit his aesthetic.

After the last crazy powder drop...

The new fans that were added sparsely hit the muzzle of the gun so unfortunately.

As soon as it was refreshed, there was a picture of a python with a big mouth: [Lying, lying, lying, lying, lying! ! ! Sammy Griffin you bastard! ]

This guy is just poisonous!

Stop talking nonsense with him.

Quit!

Pull black!

Sammy is not an actor and doesn't care at all about fans coming and going.

He happily put on his sunglasses, held his head high, and took several pictures with Nana.

Nana was obedient the whole time, and her cooperation was so high that she didn't look like a snake at all.

Then, Sammy once again posted the photo on the Internet, with the words: [Hahahaha cool? ! ]

I have to say that when the snake appears alone and especially ferocious, it is quite scary.

But if the snake is wrapped around the human body, when it appears as a decoration, it will have a different kind of sexy.

Sammy is not ugly, but is born with a baby face and a short stature, which doesn't seem quite in line with the popular perception of handsome.

But at this time, the icy snake body was quietly wrapped around his upper body, and the snake head stared blankly at the camera lens with him (pretending to be cool), but instead had a strange beauty.

The powder that had just been taken off was silently added back in silence.

It's just that everyone doesn't want to talk much, they just want to be a fake fan, and don't want to encourage the arrogance of this annoying person.

In the end, only one person whose ID is the flame dragon commented below:

[The broken things that can be stepped on with one foot are also wrapped around, and they are going to be thrown away! The scales are black and dull, they look deformed, the meat is not delicious, and there is no collection value at all! ]

Sammy didn't like to hear that.

While thinking, "Do I have a black fan too?", he blocked the ID without even replying.

A cool director doesn't need fans in life.

No black and white!

In short, after such a show off and a round of fuss...

The crew is almost ready to start filming.

Sammy immediately retracted all his thoughts and re-entered the state of the director.

As long as it doesn't involve any dragon slaying issues.

This director is still very reliable, even considerate and worthy of the trust of all actors.

The night before the official start of filming, he sent out a shooting schedule to all the crew members in advance.

Normally, this is the job of an assistant director.

But the crew was poor and had no money to hire an assistant for him.

Sammy diligently took the initiative to make one.

Basically a detailed list of what to shoot for the day

Roughly like this: Scenario - Sheriff Leonard's Office; Actors - Herbert, Constables; Required Report Time - XXX; Shooting Time - XXX; Crew Break and Meal Time - XXX; Expected End of Work - XXX, etc. .

Other than that, right below the shooting schedule.

He gave a few annotations in almost detail, namely: [driving route to the filming location, parking guide and bus route map, dress advice (according to the weather forecast and filming needs of the day), the 24-hour contact of the crew Phone, contact details of the nearest police station and hospital along the way and a route map. ]

It can be said that he clearly lists all the big and small things.

Moreover, he also specially noted: [All actors are not required to report to the scene. ]

Usually what the small crew likes to do the most is that no matter what the plot is, everyone will be on it together, and they will spend time beside them when there is no drama.

In Sammy's view, this is very unnecessary. It is a waste of time and energy, and it is a waste of the three meals a day provided by the crew.

Therefore, in the shooting schedule, he specially marked the actors involved in the shooting that day with a red pen, requiring them to be present.

For other actors who have not yet had a role, they can arrange by themselves, and they can be at will.

In this way, the actors can also better organize their time.

At that time, as soon as the shooting schedule came out, no one was dissatisfied, and they all praised the director in the chat group of the crew, "the director is really good", "the director is great" and "love the director".

The entire chat group was immediately occupied by an evil spirit of 'violently touting the director'.

At this time, Wolff sent a sincere message: [Seeing director Sammy's consideration and concern for us, I think of my father. ]

As soon as these words came out, the entire chat group was silent, and no one could compete with him.

Everyone thought to themselves: [Can't compare, can't compare! Convinced orally, completely taken! As expected of the person who 'really' hugged the director's thigh. ]

Sammy thought about it for a long time and couldn't understand why he cared about him

He pretended not to see it, and continued to play with the snake while preparing for the next shot.

In fact, since it was the first day of shooting.

The two plots to be shot are very simple, and they are also shot indoors.

One is that Sheriff Reynard received a call about 'a python in the park' and was ready to lead a team to check;

Another part of the time line is relatively later, it is about the bad girl Laura being a guest at Mrs. Leonard's house. At this time, the policemen knocked on the door and informed Mrs. Leonard of unfortunate news - Sheriff Leonard is missing. , Suspected to be buried in Shekou, please mourn.

Under Sammy's vision...

In this shooting, the experienced Nali who played Mrs. Leonard should be the best performer;

Then, Herbert, who has been diligent and has been in the film circle for many years, is second;

In the end, it is the relationship household Laura!

But I didn't expect that the one who was holding back was actually Nali.

Herbert, who played Sheriff Reynolds, performed unexpectedly in front of the camera, neither good nor bad. In terms of the proportion of the characters in the plot, this level is acceptable and passable;

Melissa, who played the bad girl Laura, was a little surprise. She should have taken a special training course in acting in private. Although she can clearly see her immature and clumsy side in the camera, her every move is already well-organized, and she still looks the same.

Only Nellie...

Although she is experienced, she can play similar supporting roles in TV dramas for a long time, and the bad result is that her acting skills are solidified.

To put it simply, she was famous for playing a housewife by chance before, so many crews asked her to guest housewife.

She acts every day, every month, every year, so that when she stands in front of the camera, she is a virtuous and gentle housewife.

That is to say, she unknowingly has a subconsciously created 'housewife' template that can be applied to any drama.

Therefore, when she played a similar image again, she unconsciously substituted this accustomed performance template.

When she heard the news of Sheriff Leonard's disappearance and suspected death, she put on a templated grief.

However, this kind of template is not deep enough, and the layering is not rich. It is just superficial and superficial.

Sammy didn't want such a fixed template role.

What he wanted was a 'fresh' feeling.

Nari herself was a little frustrated.

Uncontrollably, she doubted herself again: 'Can I really make a good movie? '

Sammy was acutely aware of her shaking.

He thought about it for a while, and immediately waved to her: "Nali, come here."

Nali then walked over.

But I didn't expect that Sammy didn't tell her the role or the plot. Instead, he asked a digression: "Do you usually curl your eyelashes when you wear makeup?"

Nellie looked over in confusion.

Then she nodded and replied, "Sometimes."

"Then close your eyes now and follow me to imagine. Early this morning, you put on a beautiful makeup, everything is perfect. You are very happy, and then you start to do the last thing in the mirror. One thing, use an eyelash curler to curl your eyelashes slowly, you want to curl your eyelashes more beautifully…”

Sammy said softly and slowly described to her, sentence by sentence: "You clip it, but it's not enough, and you clip it again, but it's still not enough! Clip it hard! Well, it's done... It's done! All the eyelashes are clipped! "

Nari obediently closed her eyes and imagined the scene:

- Makeup, looking in the mirror, curling eyelashes…

—Clip, click, okay, it’s done.

Thinking about that picture, the corners of her lips could not help but slightly curl up, and she also showed a smile.

But at this time, the next sentence came in my ear.

-All right!

-finished!

- The eyelashes are all clipped!

-wait wait wait? !

-WTF! The eyelashes are all clipped! Did you say it wrong

—Ah! ! All, all clipped? ! ! ! Director, are you a devil

At this time, Director Sammy asked meaningfully beside him: "Now, do you feel the emotion of losing your loved one?"

Nali: "...!!!"
