The Kerry brothers' approach to film marketing is ingenious and unique.
They always forget to focus on the film itself, preferring to hype the tidbits of the actors and directors in the crew.
If you study it carefully, this behavior may be due to the star-making habit of music production in the past, packaging some bands or musicians as youth idols, rebellious pioneers and other detached existences to attract the attention of fans .
To be honest, this way of working on a movie is actually putting the cart before the horse.
But maybe it's because no one has used it before, but it makes people feel a little novel.
In the end, although it cannot be said that the hype was very successful, it also left a little impression on the mind of many people.
But after the news of 'the director and the actor had a big fight' became more and more exaggerated, and due to the exposure of Sammy's too small baby face photos, there was a controversy about 'who is the victim of the fight'...
As another participant in the news - Mick Lee was in a hurry.
In Hollywood circles, there are things that can be done but not said.
In the absence of the director, the star can indeed compete for the dominant position a little more strongly and let himself have more brilliant scenes in the film, which is actually normal. But the premise of doing these things is that they cannot be put on the bright side. Because, if you accidentally carry the title of 'a director who is not convinced and will fight against the director', it will definitely not be good for the future career development of the actor.
After all, no director likes a disobedient actor.
If another director wants to find an actor for a big production in the future, but he refuses to cooperate with him because of the rumor that 'Mick is a thorn, if I cooperate with him, what if he also fights with me'? It's so wrong.
So, Mick Lee decided to apologize and reconcile with Sammy on the spot.
The way he apologized was by sending flowers.
Sammy inexplicably received a large bouquet of roses: "What does that mean?"
Mick Lee said embarrassedly: "The assistant made a mistake. I said I wanted to buy some flowers to give away, so she bought roses directly."
"I didn't mean to ask that."
Sammy frowned and said suspiciously, "I want to ask, why did you send me flowers?"
"This... um, well, for all the questions from a while ago, I..."
Mick Lee hesitated for a long time in embarrassment, and finally said cruelly: "I apologize, please forgive me."
But Sammy had no interest in cooperating with him in this 'fight and make up' kid trick.
To him, it really didn't matter.
So, in the face of Mick Lee's eyes asking for forgiveness...
He nodded neatly and accepted it indifferently. He turned around and greeted everyone to gather. He planned to shoot a small scene of 'a fan giving flowers'. After all, the props are all ready-made.
Mick Lee was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly, and finally realized that this director was completely different from what he had encountered before.
So he stopped messing around and refocused on shooting.
So, the shooting finally entered the smoothest stage.
During this period…
Mick Lee has rich experience, superb acting skills, and a thorough research on the role, and he has a magic touch from time to time;
Mickey's talent is amazing, and he has a certain resonance with the role. Although he has no ideas and opinions of his own, his wholehearted trust in Sammy allows him to always show his truest side in front of the camera.
In terms of performance, the former focuses on lines and skills, while the latter is slightly better in terms of ability and feeling.
So, when these two actors play each other seriously, it feels a little weird.
Sammy thought it was just too much fun.
He stared closely at the two people on the screen, not blinking for fear of missing an interesting detail.
Later, the staff of the crew said this: "... His eyes are bright, and he looks like a child seeing a kaleidoscope for the first time, full of anticipation and happiness, the excitement is not to mention more infectious! We Whenever he sees such an expression, the corners of his lips curve uncontrollably."
In addition to the increasingly wonderful performances of these two...
The other actors' performances are still online.
Wolf, who plays the bass player, insists on holding the director's thigh (not really this time) as he always does.
But unfortunately, if the talent of an actor is regarded as 100%, Wolff should be able to get about 70 points, which belongs to 'beyond the pass, close to the excellent'; however, Mickey and Mick Lee, once they get serious , but it is very likely to get 120 points, or even 150 points, that is, not only the overall full score, but also a genius who can even complete two additional questions.
Therefore, it is difficult to make up for such a large gap by hard work.
No matter how obedient Wolff is, trying to gain a little presence and presence in the film, as long as he is in the same shot with Mickey and Mick Lee, he will immediately become a background board and have no sense of existence. .
There's nothing Sammy can do about it.
He couldn't ask Mickey and Mick Lee to restrain their strength because of Wolff, so he had to keep silent.
But Wolfe himself was unaware of this.
With hope, he will naturally continue to work hard to play the role as directed by the director.
Another actor, Joseph, who plays the drummer, is the most worry-free actor in the entire crew.
Due to personal experience, this time he also played in his true colors.
This person simply regards acting as an ordinary lucrative job, not as ambitious as Wolff. In his spare time, he would also take the initiative to go to the Hello Band to play with, and occasionally perform on stage instead of the drummer, just to remember his former band career. From start to finish, the mind was relatively peaceful.
In such a situation that no one disturbed, the shooting process finally accelerated gradually.
When the film was about to be finalized, a good thing happened!
What a coincidence!
Colin, the frontman of the band Hello, comes to deliver Sammy a sample record.
The lead singer Colin lowered his head again and gave Sammy that very un-rock, goofy, honest smile.
He said incoherently in a tone that was not very confident: "This is the result of the money you gave us. You can listen to it and give us some advice, anyway, I personally think it sounds very good. Yes, I hope everyone likes it. Of course, others may not think that way, because it's too noisy and too heavy, I know, I know, it's just more exciting, really."
Sammy stopped the long-winded words he continued to babble on.
He reached for the sample record and said solemnly, "I'm honored."
The purebred anti-theft chain man Colin scratched his head.
He smiled embarrassedly again.
That night, after dinner...
Sammy called Mickey and sat with him in the living room, listening carefully.
Then, the bunker!
The two of them were so shaken that they couldn't find the north.
Mickey didn't dare to sleep in the middle of the night, so he quietly soaked in the bathtub, for fear that he would be too emotional and set the house on fire again.
Without saying a word, Sammy made this new song the theme song of the movie.
A few months later, because the Kerry brothers were anxious to catch up with the summer schedule, they kept urging and asking about the progress of the film, and finally, they directly asked to see the current results.
Sammy had no choice but to show them a demo of "Say Hello to the World" first.
