Sammy has no regrets about leaving Disney.
At the beginning, if it wasn't for Rossi's strong retention, he might have resigned in the fifth chapter.
This actually hit Rossi harder.
It is true that he wants to develop outward because he has not been able to grow up, but he does not want to leave the company immediately. So, during the filming period, unlike Sammy, who was "no one cares (the company doesn't know where to put him for the time being)" and was open and upright, he always took care of the crew while going to work, But obviously, the euphemistic skipping work was also skipping work, and was eventually fired.
Unemployment coupled with funding problems for the crew...
Rossi can still maintain a clear head, and it can be said that he is very stable.
As for Sammy herself...
Well, he just has no idea of money, mainly because he has never been short of money since he was a child.
Don't look at the ordinary family who always low-key claiming 'I'm just the son of a farmer, and the family has always grown and sold grapes'.
But ordinary peasant families do not have vineyards covering more than 600 hectares (this is the number after the area has been reduced due to the influence of urbanization in recent years), plus the famous wineries in the country.
Still, that's not much to say.
Home is home, and has nothing to do with Sammy.
Moreover, he had already made up his mind to not care about the mess at home.
First, he had no interest in grapes since he was a child; secondly, he had no talent in this area at all.
Compared to those ten-year-old brothers, who were already familiar with all kinds of grapes just by hearing their eyes and ears, he was really as clueless as the cement.
Even now, he still doesn't know what grape varieties are grown in the family vineyard? Is it Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel? Do not know what is the difference between these grapes and grapes? And how can the wines made from them be different
—What is serious and heavy on the palate
-What kind of silk is as soft as silk
- What smells like violets and cherries
To him, all of this was like a book from heaven.
and…
-Why do wines have to be made with cherry aromas? Can't we just go eat cherries
- Completely incomprehensible!
After all, Sammy would never go home to sell grapes in his life.
no way!
In the past, the brave little boy ignored the whole family's dissuasion and was obviously colorblind who couldn't tell the difference between paints, but he went to participate in Disney's training, and what kind of art should he learn. After finishing the study, with the great dream of 'one day I will slay the dragon', I resolutely decided to go to Hollywood alone!
think about it! (Self-imagined) Carrying the golden sunset and messy drawing boards and brushes, unreasonable confidence and full of pride surged in my heart, recklessly and passionately on the road alone! From now on, I will never return home until I slaughter the dragon!
Simply the protagonist of the world!
What a tearful memory!
(Mickey: The question is why is it Dragon Slayer again?)
(Mickey: …Dragon provoked you to mess with you??)
However…
A few years later, you can't do anything without saying anything, and you still call home to ask for money
Although the gang of people in the family are probably waiting for this one to come out!
They all waited with schadenfreude that he couldn't get along and went home crying!
Like talk
Sammy couldn't hold the face: "Don't I want to lose face?"
Alas, so...
It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others.
Although Rossi said 'we have nothing'!
But in Sammy's point of view, they were far from having nothing, and they were far from exhausted.
The most important thing is that the family has already stacked a box of samples that are almost as high as a hill.
Sammy pondered for a while and decided to start editing the footage right away.
The crew has no money to hire more people.
The editor can only do it part-time by himself!
Cut them all out first.
After adding and subtracting, there should be a film duration of thirty to forty minutes.
Then, with these 30 or 40 kinds of semi-finished films, go to the investors to re-discuss the investment.
After all, if you run over empty-handed and say 'our movie will be popular, you invest in it', others will generally not believe it.
So…
What if you take out part of the finished product in your hand
Is that much more credible
Moreover, after the screening, maybe it will win by quality and strength
Sammy is currently optimistic about his film.
Therefore, even if it is only a semi-finished product now, I am very confident.
thought here.
Sammy told Rosie the method.
Rossi is not someone who can't stand the blow, and decadence only takes a while.
What's more, he had a new plan, he immediately regained his energy, and after thinking about it, he thought he could give it a try!
So, in the next time, Sammy began to rack his brains and figured out the limited material at hand, trying to edit a semi-finished film that was barely watchable.
However, he himself is the director of the film. When editing his own film, because he is too familiar, it is easy to ignore some things that are obvious in the eyes of others.
So, he simply called his friend (who shares his own interests) with Mickey, sat next to him, and tried to see if he could find some new perspectives together.
As a result, Mickey once again shivered and saw the extremely cruel side of human beings.
While editing, Sammy claimed that it was a 'hilarious horror movie, but it wasn't scary at all' because 'Isn't it particularly dramatic watching this blood splatter? When we were filming, the packs of plasma were playing upside down hahahaha, how can normal people have this amount of blood.'
But unfortunately, his laughs are definitely not the same as normal people, well, normal dragons.
The bright red on the screen made the underage Little Fire Dragon be frightened.
It's not because he's too timid.
You must know that killing is a common occurrence in the dragon clan. After all, dragons also have to eat!
Therefore, in the process of hunting, it is normal to kill the prey.
But I don't know what's going on, the feeling of one-shot death is normal, biting the wrong place and getting a mouthful of blood will not scare the dragon at all.
But looking at the stuff Sammy filmed, I was speechless.
Because he didn't do it on purpose, but with a peculiar sense of humour. He never let the characters die properly. He designed various ways to die. When he closed the window, he accidentally clipped his head; Snakes are entangled, one person and one snake bite each other, but when human beings die, let’s take a close-up of human’s flat teeth…
What is this!
Even if you know it's fake, you still have the feeling of 'this is too bad', or, 'in this kind of film, the sooner you die, the happier you will be'.
But Sammy was amused by himself, cutting and laughing beside him.
Moreover, he doesn’t need to cut the video, but he always wants to show it off from time to time, pointing to the screen and saying, “I really like this scene. Mickey, look, the police officer ran away, but before he knew it, his arm was pierced. The snake swallowed it in his mouth, and then he hurriedly exerted his force, hahaha, his arm is gone! Look at his dazed expression, isn't it very expressive and funny?"
very funny
Michaelon couldn't help but said weakly: "...But, but the arm is gone! It hurts."
Sammy waved his hand indifferently: "It's fake, it's all fake."
"But you did it for real." Mickey muttered in a particularly depressing tone.
Sammy laughed smugly.
The little round face that was obviously very cute, but showed a sinister expression: "Hey, it's really right, how scary isn't it?"
After that, Mickey also discovered that this little round-faced human not only made other actors so miserable, but also himself.
Because of the lack of good actors, director Sammy himself also went to guest-star in two supporting roles, both of which also died tragically.
One of them, a cashier in a small supermarket, was caught in the neck by a snake that fell from the ceiling, rolled his eyes and suffocated to death;
The other was sitting in the car and was directly crushed into meat patties by the giant python!
The bloody appearance of the latter is really miserable!
The whole body is covered in blood plasma, ketchup and some mucus that I can't figure out what it is. If it weren't for the later part of the video, Sammy suddenly opened his eyes in a funny way, and stuck out the tip of his tongue, licked the ketchup on his lower lip, and faced the camera again. Making faces, laughing or something... The dragon is about to collapse, okay
Why are you so cruel to yourself!
Mikey really didn't like seeing that.
In addition, Sammy temporarily added some simple sound effects to some videos.
Even scarier!
Michaelon's face turned pale when he heard it.
Then, he couldn't help imagining in his heart, imagining that he had changed back to the prototype of a giant dragon. His huge body looked down at this round-faced dwarf, stretched out his claws and poked his full forehead, and poked him again and again. After staggering, he complained: "Look at you, you always talk about evil dragons, you are evil! You are the most evil, an evil round-faced dwarf!"
Two weeks later, Sammy hurriedly came up with a temporary semi-finished product.
So, following Mickey, Rossi was able to watch this work in advance.
After reading it, he took a deep breath and asserted: "Sami, if you do this all day, the girls will be scared away by you. I think you want to find a girlfriend for the rest of your life, right?"
Sammy is inexplicable: "Why am I looking for a girlfriend? My dream is to slay dragons!"
Mikey hugged himself silently.
Rossi was speechless.
The next day, they took the semi-finished product to visit investors again.
By the way, this time there may be a helper to intercede.
The actress Melissa who entered the crew through the back door before, is said to be the investor's distant niece, but she has always worked hard and never made trouble with the investor's backstage.
She didn't go all the way with Rosie Sammy, but set off directly from home.
Then, go to the investor's door and meet the two of them.
However, before driving to go, Rossi did not forget to give Sammy a precaution in advance: "Sami, this is the first time that Mr. Francesco Lien has invested in a film, a pure layman, investing is just a whim. So, he may not understand movies at all, if he says something you don't like to hear, don't worry about it, just pretend that you didn't hear it."
Sammy doesn't like to hear these nagging very much, and thinks that Rosie has become nagging after becoming a producer.
But he suddenly remembered something: "Wait, you just said, what's his name?"
"Who?"
"Our investor, what did you just say his name was?"
"Sami Griffin, you are too exaggerated!"
Rossi was stunned: "You still don't know who the investor in our crew is? Francesco Lien."
Sammy blinked in surprise.
Then, he asked: "Then, has that Corian opened a few supermarket chains?"
"I heard that Mr. Corrion's family has a lot of business, and if it's a chain supermarket, it should also have it." Rossi replied thoughtfully.
Sammy immediately wanted to turn around and leave.
Because he found that this Mr. Corrian was probably still an acquaintance.
The gentleman had been a guest at Griffin's house long ago and jokingly claimed to have 'held Sammy and changed Sammy's diapers'.
This made Sammy, who was seven or eight years old at the time, very self-esteem, and was deeply impressed...
That's right!
This man knew Sammy's parents and was a good friend of his father.
But the world is too small, right
Two people who are completely incompetent in the circle can collide so miraculously one day!
In the end, Sammy didn't walk away.
Of course, it was definitely not the pressure of money that prevented him from leaving, but, he suddenly remembered...
At this time, it seemed like more than ten years had passed since the last time he saw this Uncle Corion.
Therefore, the other party may not be able to recognize the grown-up self.
With this idea in mind, Sammy decided to keep a low profile throughout the whole process, pretending not to exist, and completely giving up the stage to Rossi.
Poor Rossi still doesn't know that this investment-seeking operation has not yet officially started, and the pig teammates he recruited have been disconnected ahead of time.
Fortunately, Sammy's strategy is still correct.
After seeing that Rossi came with some semi-finished products this time, Mr. Corrian's expression softened a lot, and he obviously thought that he had behaved more sincere than last time.
Just like last time, he didn't take out anything, just by saying good things, he was like a swindler with empty gloves and white wolf.
and…
This time, his niece, Melissa, also helped to intercede.
Knowing to find someone to help intercede, but also with the heart.
Although he was not familiar with this distant niece, Mr. Corlean at least felt that he was valued.
And, let's be honest.
He is still quite willing to go and see what the hell is going on in this film, which he has invested 2 million in.
If it's a good shot!
Well, a little extra money is fine.
So, several people came to the screening room together.
Rossi took the initiative to run over to show the film, while Mr. Corrion sat leisurely in his comfy chair, just waiting to see the results.
Sammy remained silent throughout.
He also pretended to be introverted and shy and hid behind.
Even in the screening hall that he entered with everyone, he deliberately sat next to the door, trying to reduce his sense of presence and not wanting to be noticed: "Don't let Uncle Corian recognize me, this is so. It's so embarrassing."
The film is still only a semi-finished product at this time, and the soundtrack and sound have not been properly adjusted, and only the most rudimentary version is used.
But every scene shot is still visible, and the director's skills can be seen in it.
Just one question!
This problem is - the film edited according to Sammy's aesthetics, the style of painting can be imagined.
So, before Mr. Corrion officially entered the viewing state...
On the screen, an invisible black figure has begun to drag a female corpse staggering forward in the night.
Mr. Corrion nearly squirted the water he had just drank in his mouth.
He looked at the beginning in a daze, thinking to himself, "I know you're making a horror movie, but why don't you just start it so violently?"
At this time, under the illumination of the weak light, you can still vaguely see the tragic death of the corpse. The face is pale and dead, the forehead is broken, blood is flowing all over the face, the clothes are broken, and the upper body is being invisible. The murderer grabbed it and dragged it like a dog to death. The two legs were dragged on the ground and there were scars everywhere. There was a slight collision sound.
After reaching a relatively hidden place, the murderer who could never see his face began to dig with a shovel and bury the body...
Who knew that at this time, there was a rustling sound in the grass.
He subconsciously stopped and turned to look.
There was nothing but darkness behind him.
So he lowered his head and continued digging.
There was another rustling sound.
He turned his head sharply, still nothing.
At this moment…
The camera stopped in the darkness, stopped for about three or four seconds.
However, a dark screen, not only did not bring relief and comfort, but brought more anxiety and fear.
Mr. Corlene had put the glass on one side of the table and was a little nervous to drink it.
In fact, during the three or four seconds of darkness on the screen just now, he involuntarily held his breath.
The murderer gradually became uneasy.
He stopped digging, took out his mobile phone, and looked at the grass again through the dim light.
This time, he finally found the source of a voice...
Countless snakes are lying or lying in the grass, on the trees, or beside the stones, staring at themselves coldly.
The murderer screamed, threw the shovel in fear, and turned around desperately to run for his life.
The originally quiet group of snakes was suddenly alarmed.
They began to swim quickly and chased after them, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Even if he knew that the person who ran away was a murderer.
But when he saw a dense group of snakes chasing humans, Mr. Corrion couldn't help but mention a heart.
But at this time, the snake group found the female corpse on the ground.
The snakes then stopped their pursuit.
Before that, Mr. Corrion had been staring intently at the screen, eager to know if the killer could escape the snakes.
So, when the snakes stop...
He hasn't had time to turn his attention!
Completely caught off guard, I just saw a very cruel scene: a group of snakes swarmed up and devoured the female corpse!
Mr. Corinne stood up suddenly, his face ashen.
With Rosie and Melissa watching suspiciously, he turned and walked out without saying a word...
"It's over!" Rossi was desperate at the time.
He thought pessimistically in his heart: "Oh my God, he can't even watch ten kinds of movies. He must not like this film and won't invest in it."
Melissa was also a little helpless.
She thought, "Well, what about this? Is this movie really that bad? I think it's okay to watch, just kind of scary, but isn't that what horror movies are all about?"
However, when Mr. Corrion just walked silently and quickly, and was about to walk out of the theater...
He bent down suddenly, looking like he couldn't hold it any longer, he vomited with a 'wow' towards the floor.
Seeing this scene, Melissa: "..."
Rossi was even more desperate: "Our movie actually made investors vomit, it's over! It's over! There is no hope this time!"
Coincidentally, Sammy happened to be sitting next to him, but his first reaction was the exact opposite of Rosie's: "Wow, my movie can actually make people vomit, cool!"
Then, he continued to think optimistically: "Not bad, it proves that the film is really contagious, this wave is stable!"
