Sammy ran home excitedly, stayed up late and wrote the outline of the screenplay about Hello.
But it's just the skeleton, and professional screenwriters are needed to help him fill in the flesh and blood.
So he contacted Hughes Humphrey, who had previously collaborated on "Snake Bane."
This man is a natural hedonist. He has always spent money like water. He has just squandered the money he earned from the script of "Snake Calamity". He is worried about what to do next, and Sammy's business has been sent to the door again.
He agreed immediately and promised to deliver the manuscript within two months.
Obviously, for the king of drafting, this promise is probably a piece of shit.
But Sammy remembered the last time Rossi had a big fight with him, and he had a simple and rude idea in his heart: "If I can't submit the manuscript this time, I will hire a few people to come and beat him up!"
Hughes Humphrey would never have imagined that the round-faced little man who looked super bullying in front of him was actually so cruel and ruthless in his heart.
At the other end, after the script was dealt with, Sammy was once again standing in the Kerry brothers' office.
He showed them the tentative script outline he had come up with, expressing his desire to make the movie.
The Kerry brothers glanced at each other, a little reluctantly.
Compared with the unknown future band movie, they are obviously still thinking about "Snake Bane" in their hearts.
However, the little round-faced director in front of him was so stubborn that he couldn't communicate, so he had to read the band's script first.
Da Kerry took the lead in picking up the book, but after flipping through a few pages, he put it aside without interest.
"actually… "
Little Kerry couldn't help but subtly put forward a suggestion to save the country with a curve: "If you must make a band movie, we can also choose a more famous band. For example, by the way, the British, um, what is the name of the plant, They are still from the planet. They are legendary, and there are a lot of hot topics. Fights, gossip with female fans, disagreements between the lead singer and guitarist. The disbanding was a riot, and it was definitely a gimmick. In addition to the fans paying for it, there should be a large number of audiences willing to watch it."
"Oh, that sounds good." Sammy nodded approvingly.
Then, under the expectant gaze of Kerry, he continued to point to his script expressionlessly and replied, "But I don't like it, I'm going to shoot this."
This guy is simply clueless!
The Kerry brothers were a little bit angry, but they couldn't help each other.
Of course they can also refuse to invest, but some are reluctant to destroy the relationship between the two parties...
After all, maybe sometime Sammy goes off to make another film like "Snake Bane".
Finally, after they discussed it for a while, they said, "You can shoot if you want, but..."
Xiao Kerry said in a guilty tone: "There may not be so many good investments before. After all, our funds are also limited."
In fact, I just don't like this movie, so I don't want to invest too much money in it.
Sammy understood in his heart, and didn't care too much and replied, "Oh."
But what he didn't expect is that the always generous Kerry brothers are very good when they are really mean.
Because a few weeks later, screenwriter Hughes Humphrey came to him and asked a serious question: "Aren't you going to pay Hello?"
"Ah? What do you mean?" Sammy was confused.
"You're adapting the script from their real story, aren't you paying for it?" Humphrey pressed.
"what?"
Sammy was surprised: "Didn't you give me money?"
Humphrey, who has always been unreliable, was surprisingly serious at this time.
With a sullen face, he said unhappily: "You'd better ask what's going on, although the big silly guys in Hello don't care much, I think that some things are not illegal even if they are done. You should have your own moral bottom line."
Sammy was annoyed, turned around and ran to question the finances of this crew hire.
But financial grievances told him that was what the Kerry brothers meant.
So Sammy had to go and ask the Kerry brothers again.
Little Kerry replied strangely: "There's no need to give them money."
Under Sammy's stunned gaze...
He gave a shameless explanation: "Isn't this a free promotion in itself for a small band like this? Since we've already helped them promote, why should we give them more money? Oh, I Got it. Are you afraid that they will make trouble? Don’t worry, if they don’t want to, we can change the band name and continue shooting. The world is so big and there are so many unknown bands. As long as we don’t say it, who knows we are shooting them. thing?"
Sammy couldn't take it anymore: "This is immoral!"
But no matter how much he argued, it was useless, and the Kerry brothers always thought it was an 'unnecessary expense'.
Although they are not short of this money.
But since it can be saved, why spend it
Sammy, who has always lacked the concept of money and is also not short of money, was almost crying because of money for the first time.
He felt terrible.
Because this is the decision of the film investor, and he is the film director.
This gave him a depressed feeling of 'I'm actually a bad guy'.
On the contrary, the members of Hello Band have become accustomed to such unfair treatment.
The lead singer, Colin, also wiped his tears, and there are rough and hard calluses on his fingers that have been doing manual work all the year round. But he still had a hearty smile on his face, patted Sammy's head gently like a child and said, "It's okay, it's okay, we don't have anything to rush to spend money. If you don't give it, don't give it, you Take a good photo, help us do publicity, and let more people listen to our singing. Alas, I really don't want to stand on the stage every time, there are only six people below - two of my parents, one of my wife, And the three wives of them are tired of seeing it."
Sammy almost burst into laughter, but then got a little sad.
Then, he ran to call the currently richest brother in the family.
When the elder brother Duke received the call, he was very surprised.
Because in his words: [Sa ah in our family is stubborn, stubborn! When he said he wanted to slay the dragon, he turned around and walked out the door with a bread knife; he said he would never sell grapes, and ran to Hollywood without saying hello as soon as he graduated. I thought he would never give me the opportunity to be a good brother who takes care of my younger brother in this life. ]
In short, Sammy told the story from beginning to end, especially embarrassed to say that he was going to borrow a sum of money.
He originally wanted to make a sum of money for the Hello band himself, but he usually spends a lot of money and has no extra money on hand. Although the previous filming of "Snake Bane" made money, you can't see the real money until the release date, and you can only see the growth data. Therefore, after thinking about it, you have to borrow it.
Duke lent him the money without a word.
But... He frantically put this in the chat group of their siblings and kept showing off: [Now, do you know who is the best and most reliable brother in Sammy's heart? ]
So, in the next time...
Little Sammy, who has always lived at the bottom of the family, has been receiving calls from several brothers in a row, all in a flirtatious tone: "Are you borrowing money? If you say something nice, my brother will lend it to you!" "I heard that you are poor. You can’t afford to eat, so you have to borrow money to live?” “How pitiful, come here, brother to support you.” “Saah, go home and sell grapes, the old man’s vineyard lacks grape picking like you. little worker."
At that moment, the super proud dragon slayer felt defeated: "How can you do this?!"
He couldn't understand the feeling of his brothers finally raising their eyebrows in front of his younger brother, he just felt that his face and dignity were thrown into the toilet and washed away with a bang: "Ah! I have been messing around for so many years, and I have achieved nothing, and I have to borrow money from my family... "
In the end, Sammy reluctantly gave the borrowed money to Hello.
Colin they didn't want it at first.
But when Sammy said, 'Take it, let's do some more new songs', they couldn't help taking the money.
Because 'with this money, people can continue to play music', and all the members of the band couldn't resist that.
Meanwhile, the more Sammy got to know about the band, the more obsessed it became.
In this band, whether it is the lead singer, or the guitarist, bassist and drummer, there is a super optimistic spirit (if it is not optimistic, it would have been a long time ago to change careers and not engage in music). During the toughest times, they didn't even have a place to live, just a broken car and four grown men huddled together, sleeping on the street every night.
However, to this day, he has not given up!
Therefore, their current way of life is: move bricks and kill pigs to cook for rent, and then go to music when they make money; lose money for concerts, and lose all the money, and then go back to move bricks and kill pigs to cook for rent.
This is probably the point that appeals to Sammy the most.
He felt that he had some kind of emotional resonance with the band!
Sammy always said, "Dragons are real, and I will be a dragon slayer in the future."
Others said: "Wake up, stop dreaming."
Hello said, "We want to make music, we want 10,000 people to come and hear us sing!"
Others also said: "Wake up, stop dreaming."
In fact, it is not a sad thing to fail to achieve a dream.
Because with the passionate BGM all the way, the process of chasing bravely towards the dream is a happy thing in itself.
On the contrary, people's denial, questioning and ridicule are the most intolerable.
That kind of sadness will accumulate little by little in the heart, until it is like a shadow, which completely drowns people and makes people despair.
But the funniest thing is...
Most of these people who deny, question, ridicule, and even indirectly destroy the dreams of others are not doing very well. They have no pursuit in their daily life, follow steps step by step, and dare not even dream.
Sammy appreciates the band's hard-won persistence, as well as their character.
Therefore, he wants to make a good movie and tell their stories and dreams to more people.
But haven't waited until the show is ready.
Because I haven't been able to find a more profitable project recently, the Kerry brothers, who don't know anything, can't wait to ask some silly questions: "Sami, do you really think this movie can make money?"
Sammy was also angry about the money before, and even more angry when he saw them like this.
"Money! Money! Money! Fuck money!"
He waved his fist angrily, and his little round face shouted angrily: "I didn't make movies to make money, I'm a warrior who defends Love and Peace!"
Kerry Brothers: …
Their expressions seemed to be saying, "Look, the patient in the so-and-so mental hospital has been brought out again."
