Mickey eventually gave up on killing Nana Snake.
Because when Sammy was chatting with him about the crew, he casually said, 'I'm afraid one snake is not enough for filming. I have to find (beast trainer) Wells to coordinate with him later, and find a few more snakes to film together' . After all, 'snake horror films cannot easily let go of those with intensive phobias, hehehe'.
Considering the killing of one nana snake, there will be countless others that follow.
The arrogant flame dragon had to reluctantly tolerate such a low-level creature with no intelligence and only instinct, and continued to survive in its temporary territory and stay with its own humans.
But other snakes...
Even though he was underage, Mickey, who was still a dragon, thought to himself: 'I have to swear my sovereignty and mark my territory. '
Thus, trainer Wells encountered the most baffling puzzle of his career.
Not bad, but... too good.
It was a little surreal!
The dozens of snakes he brought with him were as good as dogs in front of the director of the production crew. Let Wang go east and never crawl south! Moreover, the queue can be lined up neatly, so it doesn't look like a group of snakes, but like a bundle of ropes that can be manipulated by anyone.
The animal trainer Wells was really confused: "What the hell is going on here!"
At this time, Sammy naturally brought out the 'Dragon Slayer Warrior' set, and blew it for himself.
"This is ridiculous, I don't believe it!" Wells' first reaction was this.
But when his eyes fell on the well-behaved snakes who were still lining up, he hesitated again: "...Is it true?"
(Mickey: Human! Alas, another lame!)
In short, by such a coincidence.
Sammy's nickname of 'Dragon Slayer' is also known in a small circle of circles.
However, the real mastermind behind the scenes, Mickey, did not show up. He just stood behind his own humans and said nothing.
He recently ended his busy cover magazine career and was still waiting for a new job, and in the middle of the waiting time, he habitually ran after his own humans.
As before, he liked to stay with Sammy on set.
When I have nothing to do, I can watch Sammy filming, while standing by the side and eating bread, watching and eating, my appetite is super good.
Wait until I hear Sammy and the others bragging about 'Dragon Slayer' again...
He raised his head helplessly, and smiled kindly.
Normally, animal actors and child actors are the two most difficult factors to control.
Among them, animal actors are more than a hundred times more troublesome than child actors, because the latter can still understand human words if they explain carefully; while the former, in many cases, it takes a week or two just to make the animals understand the commands . Not to mention the question of whether they are willing to do it after they understand it. Even with the help of an animal trainer, this process is very labor-intensive, time-consuming and lengthy.
But with a giant dragon sitting...
For the magical crew of Sammy, the most difficult animal actor to get is a problem that they never have to worry about.
The snake group, which has always been difficult to tame and has no obedience, completely succumbed to the dragon's might of an underage fire dragon.
So, let them do whatever they want, let them pose whatever they want, and they are very obedient.
and…
There is no need for the trainer to worry about the whole process!
Director Sammy with a giant dragon standing behind him, every time an order is given, they all scramble to stretch their snake bodies in front of the camera, and they are also proactive and conscientious wanting to do something else...
Anyway, they just want to be a hard-working and useful snake, so as not to be caught and eaten by a dragon boss who thinks it is useless.
In contrast, human actors are very disappointing.
(Presumably no death threat).
Like, that Wolff...
He has NG almost twenty times in one scene!
Sammy had to call someone over to talk again.
According to his usual habit, he first reminded politely: "Wolf, do you know? You are playing a villain."
Wolf, who had been fired once, did not dare not listen carefully to the director's words this time.
Afraid that Sammy would get angry again, he hurriedly defended and said: "Yes, yes, I know, so I have tried very hard to show the evil and scary side of the character here..."
"Yeah, it's being evil, and it's good that you can think of it. But actually..."
Sammy said patiently, "You don't need to be so evil."
"...I don't understand, am I not the villain?"
Wolff asked in complete daze: "What kind of villain is not evil? Or what is this character's hidden plot?".
"Evil can only be said to be a setting of the character of Stley, and it does not represent everything about the character. So, when you play, you don't need to think that you are a bad person; you don't need to convey a kind of' to the audience. I'm a bad guy' signal." Sammy uttered the puzzling remark as if he were talking about a tongue twister.
Wolf obviously couldn't understand this sentence: "What does it mean to think that you are not a bad person, I am acting as a bad person!"
He seemed to be even more confused, but he didn't dare to continue to ask.
Seeing this, Sammy had no choice but to say, "Well, let's try again."
But having said that, he didn't think Wolff would have an instant epiphany this time, and the play would be done right away.
Sure enough, Wolfe really worked harder.
He recited the lines viciously, with a particularly strong range of actions and a more stern expression. He tried his best to show a frightening villain's face, but he couldn't. In the end, he just felt that this person was stern and bluffing.
It's certainly not the kind that Sammy wants.
So, he had to call pause again.
Wolfe looked at him inexplicably.
But this time, Sammy didn't talk to him directly, but stared at the screen, turning over and over to watch the clips just filmed.
Strange to say.
He is obviously a round-faced dwarf, but he is particularly imposing at work. Every time he has a straight face and doesn't say a word, he is still a little scary.
Wolf, who was waiting on the side, was just standing by and waiting, but the more he waited, the more nervous he became.
After all, it's less than a month since the start of the movie, and it's still too late to change actors. Therefore, he was particularly worried that he would be fired if he didn't shoot well, and he couldn't help thinking: "Should I... er, hug my thigh again? It's just the same trick, I don't know if it will work if I use it again..."
Fortunately, Sammy is not a particularly strict person.
When an actor has a problem, he always thinks of 'how can I help him get into the state' instead of 'Forget it, fire him, and get a new one'.
So, this time too.
He soon helped Wolfe come up with a new solution.
This new method is a bit similar to helping Nali.
But that time Nali could only be considered empathy, after processing similar emotions that she had on other things, and then transferring it to the character; this time, Wolff, which can be called an impression, used the memory of the past. An impression event that stimulates his ability to express his character.
So, he called Wolff over again, and instead of saying it directly, he pulled the person to a more remote corner.
Under Wolf's puzzled, nervous, bewildered gaze...
Sammy first stared at each other closely, and then asked a question softly: "Have you ever taken the role of a friend before?"
The impression of 'robbery' no doubt immediately evoked some of Wolfe's long-standing memories.
His eyes wandered for a moment, but he didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked in a low voice, "Did someone tell you something, Director?"
But the next moment, without waiting for Sammy to say anything...
Wolf quickly restrained all his wandering expressions, and answered again decisively: "No! Absolutely not! Director, trust me, don't listen to other people's nonsense, that group of people is just disrespectful. I didn't steal the role. , if there is, it is only fair competition. Before signing the contract, as long as it is an actor, everyone can fight for it. My acting skills are better, and the problems of others' skills are not as good as others... Don't blame me!"
After a few seconds of silence, Sammy applauded him.
Then, happily told him: "Remember this sense of righteousness and go act!"
Wolfe suddenly realized.
Then, he was very embarrassed: "..."
But after here,
He did find the right feeling, and his interpretation of the lines became candid, direct, emotional, and, shameless enough.
This is good!
Many actors can't let go when they play the villain.
On the one hand, it is strongly bound by one's own education and moral values, and there is no way to recognize the character's behavior, so it will naturally be very stiff;
On the other hand, he is too concerned about his own image and always does not want to offend the audience. Even if you play the villain, you will try to show the audience a 'I'm actually a good person, and I hate this character myself' to please the audience. In this case, the villain will definitely be played nondescript.
Wolff has both shortcomings.
The former is because he has a lot of minor flaws, but he can't be called a big villain. At most, he engages in exclusion, malicious competition, bullying, and fear of hardship. Therefore, playing the real villain is not powerful enough, even a close-up. I can't support it; the latter is simpler, a guy with a red heart, even when he is playing the villain, subconsciously does not want to offend the audience, no matter how ugly the appearance is, he wants to pretend to be a good person on the inside.
It's very unnecessary.
The antagonist is the antagonist.
Moreover, not all bad people will feel remorse, and some bad people always feel that they are right.
In this film, Mr. Stley, the consultant of the botanical garden, is a hopeless character who "even if he has directly or indirectly killed many people, he still thinks he is not wrong when he is near death".
But maybe...
This kind of unrepentance is the charm of the character.
But Wolff didn't quite get it.
However, this time he learned the lesson of the last time and was surprisingly obedient. Seeing Sammy commanding like this, he worked hard in this direction without any objection.
There may be no other way to 'get red'.
Therefore, he was temporarily unemployed, which means he pinned all his hopes on this movie and went with the director with all his might.
For the excitement of the film, Sammy naturally couldn't turn a blind eye to the characters.
So, in the end, almost every movement, every expression, and every subtle change in the character of Stry was designed by him first, and then he tried to explain it to Wolff as plainly as possible. , which is Wolff's laborious interpretation of the process.
Such a way, if not for Wolfe's insistence.
Sammy didn't want to do that, because it took away the actor's autonomy and sense of self-play.
But Wolf himself didn't care.
He just wants to firmly seize the opportunity, the only opportunity at present, and work hard to climb up, no matter what the method is!
Anyway, whether it's his acting skills are good enough, or he hugs the director's thigh tightly enough!
He just wants final success.
