Mikey felt excluded.
In a way, he felt right.
It is difficult for the other actors in the crew to be sincerely convinced of the male lead who was decided early on.
In their opinion: "What ability do you have to be the male lead? It's just that you have a better relationship with the director."
Although they are worried about offending the director, they are not good at taking things too far.
But these people are really good at doing something cold and violent.
So, starting from the script discussion, they pretended to enthusiastically surround the director, diverting Sammy's attention in various ways.
And in the next filming, they tried to grab the scene.
Among them, Mick Lee is the one who has done the most excessively.
Wolf, who plays the bass player, has no way to target Mickey too much for the time being due to his acting skills, role play and position in the director's heart;
Joseph, who played the drummer, also lacked confidence. He only dared to follow everyone in a group, but he had no positive thoughts.
Only Mick Lee…
The big Hollywood star who wanted to play the male lead at first but was rejected by Sammy actually had careful thoughts.
There is no denying that this man is a very good actor.
Although he is not as tall and handsome as Mickey in appearance, he has eagle-like sharp eyes and deep facial features, and he has a very strong sense of presence. The feeling of being the boss of the boss.
So, although Mickey has an advantage in looks.
But Mick Li stood beside him, and he could divide the world by his momentum alone.
That's why Sammy wanted to invite him to play in the first place.
After all, in addition to the lead singer, the guitarist's role is also very important. The two complement each other and achieve each other. If a weaker actor is chosen, it is not a good thing for the film.
But what Sammy didn't expect was...
Mick Lee didn't want to complement each other and achieve each other at all. After noticing that the director is a reasonable and good-natured person, and the actor who plays the male lead is very simple and childish, he just wants to overwhelm the audience with domineering skills, madly grab the scene, and take up all the scenes. limelight.
In the dark tide, the inexperienced underage fire dragon was quickly dropped by the first KO!
That day, when the lead singer Colin was filmed on the verge of collapse under the heavy pressure, he yelled at the guitarist Jon, "Why the hell do you say me, you are also a loser"...
Not waiting for Sammy to say anything.
Mick Lee himself called a timeout.
Next, Mickey took a free acting class for no reason.
In the tone of Mick Lee's predecessors, he kindly, enthusiastically, and friendly told Mickey from all aspects how to play this scene, how to do his actions and emotions to be more in place, and what was wrong with the performance just now.
Because he made sense, Sammy, who was not as experienced as a director and who wasn't too emotionally intelligent, didn't stop him.
So, the underage little fire dragon was made a mess by him.
You know, everyone has their own way of acting.
Although what Mick Lee said was right, it was of no help to Mickey, who was born in a wild way and acted by feeling. He was fine, but he taught him this way, and he didn't know what to do. .
It's fine if you don't listen.
But Sammy felt that Mick Lee's words made sense at the time, and he nodded in agreement.
Mickey misunderstood when he saw Sammy's performance.
He resisted his fire-breathing irritability and reluctantly acted according to Mick Lee's method, but it turned out to be a complete mess.
Sammy took several shots and was not satisfied.
He didn't realize that Mickey was led into the ditch by Mick Lee, and thought that the actor was temporarily unable to enter the state, so he had to skip this part in disappointment and shoot the other first.
Mickey has encountered such a situation
He doesn't understand the complex minds of human beings at all. He doesn't even feel that he was excluded or targeted before. Now that something goes wrong, he only feels that he is not good at acting, which has caused his little round face to become a lot colder, and he felt very sad for a while. of.
Sammy wasn't cold either.
He's just too busy, and the actors are always pestering him to talk, so he can't care.
Faced with this situation, Mickey had no solution at all.
When he returned home, he fell on the bed on a hunger strike, his head downcast, like a dying swan, silently waiting for human beings to rescue and comfort him.
Sammy wasn't that careful at all.
He ate the leftover food in the refrigerator on his own, causing the little fire dragon to give up the hunger strike. When he got up secretly in the middle of the night to eat, he looked at the empty refrigerator and shed two lines of tears.
On the other side, Mick Lee still didn't stop.
He robbed Mickey for several scenes in a row, and after pressing the male protagonist to the point of spitting fire, he targeted the young director who was still young.
Sammy isn't a fool either.
At this time, he had faintly noticed that the atmosphere of the crew was wrong.
Mick Lee is about to become a tyrant in the crew.
Because of his status as a big star, almost everyone in this small crew is holding him, especially when he sees that he is even pressing the male lead, no one dares to provoke him.
Previously, Mick Lee's professionalism and dedication was a quality that Sammy greatly appreciated.
But now, he finally realized the difficulty of this famous actor.
When filming "Aaron's Adventures" and "Snake Bane," Sammy would stop and explain patiently whenever an actor's performance didn't meet the requirements.
At this time, whether the actor is sincere or fake, at least on the surface, he will show an attitude of obedience, and try to meet the director's requirements.
But not Mick Lee.
He always has his own views and opinions.
In one shot,
Sammy stopped and said to Mick Lee, "Could you be a little more intense?"
"Why?" This was Mick Lee's first reaction.
Then, he would turn around, frown, and stare at Sammy with a disapproval: "I don't think there's anything wrong with my performance."
"In this segment, you're arguing." Sammy isn't one of those overly authoritative directors.
Therefore, when the other party questioned his order, he did not get angry, but explained patiently.
"They are good brothers, not enemies."
But Mick Lee immediately retorted: "When a person quarrels with a good brother, he may speak evil words, but he can't be more violent."
"Then have you considered a situation, what if Jon hates Colin?" Sammy continued patiently.
Mick Lee showed a thoughtful look, and finally stubbornly retorted: "He doesn't hate him, he is his best brother."
Sammy was silent for a while, simply believing that the current conflict between him and Mick Lee was a difference in the understanding of the characters.
Just as there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people, different people see the same character in different ways.
The solution to this was rather simple.
The two ran to ask the character's prototype, Jon, the guitarist of the band Hello.
Honestly, it's embarrassing.
Two relative strangers ran over and asked, "Did you hate your best brother Colin?"
Guitarist Jon showed a stunned expression on the spot.
But fortunately, the members of the Hello band, who have been devastated by life for a long time, all have big hearts. He quickly laughed with relief and recalled the past: "Of course, I hate him to death. Besides, I have bullied him before. Too many times, put cream on his toothbrush, hid all his favorite records, and wrote 'Fuck me' on the back of his T-shirt!"
Mick Lee was surprised: "Aren't you good brothers?"
Jon showed a sly smile: "Yes, if he wants to jump off the building, I will definitely stop him."
This, what kind of weird friendship is this
Mick Lee still didn't understand.
But it turns out that Sammy's point of view is correct.
It can only be done as he wants.
So, in the next shooting, Mick Lee paused for a while.
The problem is that Sammy is asking for hardships not to make the film into a documentary.
—Many live-action documentaries are very boring and may be successful in popularizing science and telling real life.
- But in my opinion, it may indeed meet the needs of some audiences, but it also sets a high threshold to keep out those audiences who are unfamiliar with the real events in the documentary. Would like to see this movie.
When Sammy was making the shooting plan, he explained his thoughts to the main members of the crew:
—I want to make a movie that looks interesting, not a documentary.
—Although the film is based on a true story of Hello, I wish some of the expressions were a little more exaggerated and dramatic. In other words, I don't want to follow the script. The film should convey a spirit, rather than simply recording events, which will not move the audience.
Good idea.
Also received the collective support of the crew members.
But in this way, some differences between him and Mick Lee can't be refuted by real people.
As a result, the two began to have frequent violent quarrels during the shooting:
- You can't wear this coat, Jon isn't playing punk!
—Didn't you say that you don't want scriptures, you want drama and exaggeration? Wouldn't it be cool if the guitarist was a punk
- I don't want to follow the script, but only if it doesn't change the character's own traits.
- Just a coat.
-no!
— This is way cooler, your idea is too old.
This time it was Mick Lee who won.
In the camera, he insisted on wearing a very punk leather jacket.
Sammy was furious.
He repeated this scene ten times with obsessive-compulsive disorder. On the one hand, he was angry, and on the other hand, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the coat was super unpleasant, and he was not satisfied no matter how he shot it.
The implicated crew members later said bitterly: [Too bad, like a tug-of-war for willpower. ]
The relationship between the two is getting more and more strained in this constant quarrel.
And, the situation intensified.
One day, when Mick Lee arrived at the filming site, he found that Sammy hadn't come, but the actors who filmed that day had already arrived ahead of schedule.
So, he magically directed the photographer, directed and acted by himself, and was very picky about the shooting process.
Sammy, who encountered traffic jams and some unlucky things, managed to solve the problem. After rushing to the set, he saw the injured and aggrieved expression on his own crew photographer. The seven or eight strong men who rushed out forced them into the alley and beat him for a while, with blue noses and swollen faces!
Then, Mick Lee excitedly showed Sammy the demo he had made.
Simply outrageous!
What the heck crap.
Sammy said calmly: "I thought I was the director of the crew."
Mick Lee immediately apologized.
But from this point of view...
This guy is almost treating the crew as his own.
How can there be such an actor in the world
He would actually want to usurp the director's right!
Sammy is so knowledgeable!
He lacked similar experience before, but once he figured out the ins and outs, he was so powerful that he immediately changed his attitude.
So, another quarrel.
Sammy didn't bother to explain and convince at all.
"Shut up and listen to me!"
He took a hard line, ordering, "I want you to jump on this table now, and I want you to kick that damn plate of spaghetti down!"
"You can't ask for that, director, you're abusing your power," Mick Lee said calmly.
Sammy told him with a small round face, expressionless and unquestioning, "You're right, it's my power. Now, I like to abuse it, and go to the table, and this is what I'm going to do, Don't make me say it a second time."
"You can say try it a second time, I won't do it," Mick Lee said nonchalantly.
Sammy then said it a second time.
With a bulging little round face, he repeated without deterrence: "I want you to jump on this table now, and I want you to kick that damn plate of spaghetti off!"
Mick Lee, with his arms around his chest and motionless, stared at Sammy with a half-smile, as if he was watching a joke.
But the next moment, he was stunned to find that his feet suddenly left the ground, and his eyes were suddenly raised.
It turns out that Michaelon didn't know when he was standing behind this guy...
After Sammy finished speaking for the second time, he held Mick Lee's shoulders with one hand and his waist with the other, and lifted the man from the place with ease, and then, as if Caught some cat and dog and put the person on the table, gloating over the misfortune: "Now, go kick that plate of spaghetti, hurry up!"
Mick Lee's calm expression instantly cracked.
He showed an expression of doubt about life in shock: "...Am I so light?"
