1. [The Kerry brothers in action]
Just as the Kerry brothers can't figure out how in the world there is a person like Sammy who "makes movies for no money";
Sammy will probably never understand, how can there be Kerry brothers in the world who don't discuss whether the movie is good or not after watching a movie, don't say whether he likes it or not, and don't care if the plot of the movie is a bit slap in the face. Money money money' super laity!
After the three of them looked at each other, they all felt that they were not speculating.
The Kerry brothers did not show any dissatisfaction on the surface, but the plot of the film was filmed like that by Sammy, which must have made people a little uncomfortable.
So they politely said goodbye and left;
Sammy didn't even send them, and continued to discuss the film's follow-up with the editor.
"Brother, what do you think?"
On the way back, Da Kerry asked in a low voice.
"I'm not sure, big brother. You know, I've never been interested in movies, but… "
Little Kerry thought hesitantly and replied: "As far as I know, Hollywood did not have music-themed movies before, but most of them received a mediocre response, and a small number of them can only be said to be popular in a small range, maybe not lose money, but also Not particularly profitable."
"So, you mean not optimistic?"
"I look good, but I can't find a successful precedent."
The two brothers fell silent.
Then, Da Kerry suddenly asked again: "How is the filming of our "Snake Town" imitating "Snake Bane" recently?"
Little Kerry thought for a while and couldn't help laughing: "I heard it's not bad, my secretary went to see it, and came back and told me that it was scary."
Obviously.
The brothers aren't pinning all their hopes on Sammy's new film.
While Sammy was busy filming Say Hello to the World...
Out of ignorance, paranoia, and a peculiar self-confidence, the two brothers tinkered with a "Snake Town" and tried to pretend it was a sequel to "Snake Bane."
Sammy didn't know about it at all.
However, when he found out later, he was so angry!
Not to mention how irritating it is to sneak a film into a sequel without his permission.
Speaking of the main plot of the trashy film, it almost completely replicates the plot in "Snake Bane".
The same group of people suffered from snakes; the same group of people were forced to flee the town by snakes, and even individual lines appeared similar.
If the creator is a single person, it can also be said that this repetition is intentional, paying tribute to the easter eggs of the previous film, but it is completely two creators, it can only be said that it is plagiarism that is not at all intentional!
The thing that makes Sammy the most unbearable is this: plagiarism should also be copied a little bit!
After copying for a long time, what he finally came up with was very shoddy garbage, which almost completely defeated the audience's favorability of the last "Snake Bane", although he did not plan to make any sequels in the future, and he didn't care much about this series. Take it for someone else to shoot.
But what he can't stand is...
It's insulting that my name will be constantly linked to the follow-up trash movies by fans who don't know the truth.
For this reason, no matter how the Kerry brothers can bend or stretch, be polite to him and always tolerate it.
He still broke up with the Kerry brothers completely.
Not to mention here.
In short, perhaps because of the success of "Snake Bane", the Kerry brothers are still a little more confident in monster horror movies.
Moreover, there is a relatively shallow and obscure reason.
In this "Say Hello to the World" film, many plots are understated, touch-and-go, and not in-depth, but some detailed plots really reveal the music industry Many of the dark sides in the film, also mixed in the music industry, have experienced the Kerry brothers who were not so innocent, and subconsciously avoided a bit in the face of such a movie.
Under such circumstances, the two brothers couldn't help deceiving themselves: "Is it more exciting, more gimmicky, and more attractive than watching a strange little band that has never succeeded in the struggle?"
Therefore, in the discussion meeting of the film release plan in the second half of the year, the Kerry brothers were more inclined to promote "Snake Town" with all their strength.
I'm a little sorry Sammy though.
But in their opinion, it has been said so many times before that Sammy should make a sequel, who told him to refuse? No wonder they looked for someone else.
However, after making this decision,
The two brothers turned their heads and thought, out of the greed of eating more and taking more, they were not willing to give up the new movie in Sammy's hands.
As it happens, Sammy has been busy doing the soundtrack for the film lately...
"Maybe, with music, we can help," they couldn't help thinking.
The Kerry brothers had really good intentions this time.
After all, as the film's investors, they and Sammy are innately a community of interests, and it is impossible to deliberately harm the film and make the film bad.
Based on this, they came up with a (thought to be) brilliant idea.
That is to insert more well-known band songs into the film, and use the fame of some music stars to increase the attraction of the film.
They used to be in the music production industry, so the two brothers have a lot of connections in this area.
After they made up their minds, they went straight to the point of contacting people.
The first contact is a super hot girl group, a popular idol in the past one or two years, a beautiful face, a hot body, and a thorough teen idol.
The Kerry brothers approached their current manager and discussed whether they could use the song "Sweet Girl" from their new album to win over the younger group of teenagers;
After spending the money, they found another singer named Old Ian and wanted his masterpiece "Forgive Me".
This singer became famous decades ago and is a famous senior figure in the music world. Most of the fans are over forty or fifty years old, and there are many middle-aged and elderly fans;
Toto relationship, looking for someone, is also easy to get.
Then, they were not satisfied and contacted the popular planetary band who had toured in the United States.
This band is a British band, and it can be regarded as an evergreen tree in the music world.
Although the four members are often reported by the media as 'the gang of street gangsters with great luck', they have continued to be popular for more than ten years. It had to change from crying and shouting to a calm and calm, almost nerve-numbing, but miraculously still did not lose powder. Moreover, with its unique personality (shameless) and miraculous charm (shameless), Shengsheng can still attract a new generation of ignorant boys and girls into the pit. Therefore, their audience is wider, ranging from boys and girls aged fifteen or sixteen to adult men and women in their thirties (after the first wave of fans grew up).
Out of personal preference…
The Kerry brothers have taken a fancy to one of their old classics, "The Witch."
But unfortunately, the lead singer and guitarist of this band have just made headlines because of their quarrel. They also fought in the street, disturbing social order, and were punished by the uncle of the police. They are currently traveling in prison for two days, and the copyright of the song has become a little bit. Difficult to do.
Although it is said that when visiting a prisoner, you can also sign a contract.
But... In the beginning, the lead singer agreed very well, and the guitarist disagreed; but after a few days, the guitarist was finally persuaded to agree, and the lead singer began to firmly disagree.
Their agent urged them to make a quick decision, saying the buyer was getting impatient.
As a result, the two dog people turned their faces in an instant, with a very bad attitude: "Stop talking nonsense, just wait if you like it, and get out if you don't like it!"
It just doesn't make sense!
The Kerry brothers also worked in the music industry for a long time in their early years, and it was the first time they met such an infuriating band: "Damn British!"
In the end, they had to choose to give up such an annoying band and try to contact another urchin band instead.
The lead singer of this band, Abritt, happens to have a deep grudge with the Planets, and he is very happy to be able to stop the work of the Planets halfway. No need to hurry, the lead singer took the initiative to send a song over, and, not just picked randomly, it was a new best-selling golden song by their band recently.
According to the lead singer Abritt himself, this best-selling hit is still dedicated to recording his precious friendship with Jimmy, the lead singer of the Planets.
The name of the song is: "Dude, You Look Like a Girl"!
Well, do you British people express friendship like this
Kerry Brothers: …
But forget about the love-hate relationship between those bands.
They are happily harvesting!
In addition to the above singers, seven or eight musicians were also found. In the end, it was completely rewarded!
In the eyes of the two brothers, this action is really too wise!
If all these songs can be interspersed into the movie, even just relying on the band's name is enough to call some die-hard fans into the cinema.
Regardless of whether their (brain-dead) behavior is appropriate or not.
It must be admitted that the two brothers did their best.
In order to get the right to use these songs, they cheated everywhere, sought help from relationships, and put their dignity to the lowest level without caring: "Help me, help me, brother! I just made a movie, it's not good. , I really need the brothers to help! Give me a face and help!"
But when they proudly presented Sammy with the fruits of their hard work and proudly shared their brilliant idea...
Sammy was about to suffocate.
Grass!
What the hell is this!
What are you pigs thinking, man
We are making a movie!
shoot! Electricity! ! film! ! !
It's not a fucking golden song skewer!
I know you don't like Hello Band!
But have you forgotten? In this movie, Hello is the protagonist!
Without the band's original song from the movie...
Instead, use the songs of other bands, what the hell is this
Impressed!
Sammy believes that the work of these two people is not only stupid to the extreme, but also wasted to the extreme!
This kind of self-indulgent disservice behavior does not arouse people's interest at all, let alone give any praise and encouragement.
Anyway, in the soundtrack that follows, Sammy rolls his eyes and a song doesn't work.
2. The whine of the editor
Saying it's a song has never been used, maybe it's a bit absolute.
Sammy has always been cooperative, not a strong dictatorship.
So, when I see the Kerry brothers hustle and bustle, worrying about the soundtrack (blind)...
He still tried to listen to those songs, thinking about putting a few of them into the movie, which was barely satisfying their eager desire to participate in the creation of the movie.
But some things just can't be done!
Some songs are really classic and good, but they are not suitable for movies; some songs may be suitable for movies, but in a certain way, they are a bit overwhelming. It's like, Hello Band has a concert. In order to cheer them on, you brought seven or eight bands in one breath as guests.
OK, here comes the problem.
Who is the audience listening to
For various reasons, Sammy simply stopped talking.
He told the Kerry brothers bluntly: "I have already thought about all the soundtracks in this film, most of them are originals by Hello, and a few of them have been bought by my contacts. Unless you fire me, you must follow my words. "
The Kerry brothers were embarrassed by this lack of face.
Moreover, those songs that were so hard to buy back were wasted.
But they didn't want to break up with Sammy, so they had to hold back their anger and wait and see if "Say Hello to the World" was actually screened, was it a loss or a gain
Sammy didn't know anything about the Kerry brothers' careful thinking.
However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't take it to heart.
However, Brother Kerry's tossing behavior still made him very disgusted and annoyed.
For this reason, he secretly complained to Michaelon in private: "If you can't help, don't mix it up! The Kerry brothers' aesthetics are really worrying. They even invited songs in the name of our movie, saying that they would definitely use it. In the movie, damn it! The other day, a friend I knew came over and asked me what kind of movie I could make. It actually needs to use so many, different styles, and all kinds of popular hits! It sounds like It's like some kind of rural upstart behavior, and I can't answer it. God, what a shame! How on earth did I want to work with them? It's unlucky!"
Michaelon laughed.
He thought that Sammy's expression when he disliked the Kerry brothers was very funny, a small round face wrinkled, and occasionally waved and pouted, looking very funny.
However, in this case...
Should there be some comfort
While thinking about the consistent behavior of human beings, Mai Qilong said softly in a soft voice that is inversely proportional to the tall stature of humans because it is still a juvenile dragon, and has not changed its voice so far: "Not everyone is like you. So awesome."
Sammy is very happy.
But he tried hard not to let himself show his happiness too obviously, so as not to appear to be very proud of being praised for just one or two sentences. Can be praised is really very comfortable, and, Mickey's attitude is always so sincere. In the end, he couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect you to be the most discerning person around me!"
Mikey laughed, looking rather embarrassed.
While he was madly proud in his heart, "Of course, the human I chose must be the best", and at the same time, he placed his head on Sammy's shoulder from behind, and stretched out his hand to pull Sammy's fleshy body. The little short hand played with his fingers one by one, and continued to say in a soft voice that had not changed his voice: "I also feel that I am special, that I have to have a good eye, and the Internet is so big, but I handed it over to you all at once. Such a good friend! Sammy, you know what? I'm literally the happiest person (dragon) in the world."
Sammy was praised so much that if he had a tail, the tail would be up in the sky.
Then, he also wanted to praise Mickey politely.
But the problem is, not everyone's mouth can be as sweet as a little fire dragon, as if smeared with honey.
As an upright dragon slaying warrior, Sammy thought about it for a long time, but didn't say a good word, so he had to send out a team invitation to express their deep friendship: "Mickey, we will have the opportunity to slay dragons together in the future! "
Michaelon was not happy.
But he is now used to the bad behavior of his own human beings. He didn't show anything immediately. He pretended to be innocent, but deliberately attacked him: "It's good, but the way you are now Sammy..."
Xiao Huolong used his eyes to measure the height of a small round-faced human being, as well as his thin body with no muscles.
Finally, he asked meaningfully: "Who can you beat?"
Sammy is furious!
He pulled his hand back angrily, turned around and pushed Mickey's big head away, punched him hard in the chest, kicked him again, and then raised a middle finger aggressively.
But for the thick-skinned Mickey Dragon, the punch and kick were simply scratching the itch.
Moreover, the small round-faced human with round eyes puffed up angrily fingers that were only about three-quarters of the length of their human-shaped fingers!
Ouch!
The round, light pink, neatly trimmed nails slammed into the apex of the heart.
The underage Little Fire Dragon covered his heart unbearably.
He thought extremely sweetly and exaggeratedly: "Dragon God, the human I chose is really cute."
Next, Sammy continued to work energetically on the post-production of the film while fighting with Mickey.
As for the Kerry brothers' little thought of 'wanting to use famous singers to boost the popularity of the movie', he still thought about it seriously.
The soundtrack for the movie is definitely going to be a song by Hello.
But to find a singer to support the show, show up or something, maybe... it's ok.
So, he quickly thought of a suitable candidate.
But this time, in addition to the soundtrack, a new problem arose in the editing.
No one knows how things got to this point...
Anyway:
The Kerry brothers, who couldn't get in on the soundtrack, didn't say anything on the surface, but they were not reconciled.
Big Kerry's mind is deeper, his endurance is stronger, and he has no reaction for the time being; Little Kerry has a more detached temperament and thinks more.
So, one day, Kerry suddenly woke up from the bed, did not want to get up, and lay in a daze.
He thought about it for a while, and before he knew it, he remembered the little plot in the film about making a documentary about Hello but not paying the copyright fee.
Other plots can only be said to be indirect insinuations.
This episode is almost a real, name-calling swearing.
But it didn't take it to heart.
The two brothers are still very cautious in this regard, and they will not leave any legal loopholes easily. Therefore, when Hello agreed to act as a prototype to make a movie, they signed a contract.
Since there is a contract, no matter where this matter is said, no matter what, they are not responsible.
Even if there is a problem, they have already figured out how to deal with it in advance. For example, they completely put the responsibility on the Hello band, and directly said, "The small band wanted to promote it and gave up its rights for free, and begged us to use them as a prototype. , or else we didn't choose so many bands, why did we choose them? I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to become popular again and it's clamoring for money'.
People who don't know the truth are easily fooled.
What's more, the Hello band is a small band with few diehard fans, and there are not many people who can help you talk if you just splash dirty water.
Therefore, the two Kerry brothers did not take Sammy's little gestures to heart.
What if it was made into a movie
A sentence of 'purely fictitious' will not be dealt with in the past, the key is whether it can make money!
It should have been like this.
But because of the soundtrack...
Little Kerry held his breath, and suddenly wanted to find fault.
So, he took "No! I can't let such a film that damages our image to be released" as an excuse, and went to the editor to intervene in the film editing work.
At that time, the editor of the crew was hired from outside, and it was a master named Jason.
In addition to his excellent technique, the most commendable thing about this editor is that he knows how to communicate and cooperate with people, rather than being self-willed and arbitrary.
So, Sammy was very reassured about him.
The two often discuss the progress of the film's plot together, discussing how editing can make the rhythm more compact...
This collaborative model of working together was once beautiful.
But that day, Kerry hurried over and asked Jason, the editor, to delete a scene from the dailies.
Sammy is not here.
Jason's most commendable point of 'not being self-willed, not being arbitrary' has become a weakness.
Little Kerry threatened and ordered a little.
He obediently obeyed.
As a result, in the afternoon, Sammy found out about it.
He was so angry that he immediately asked Jason to re-add the deleted scene, and then called Kerry: "Stay away from my movie!"
Little Kerry said in a good voice, "But that's my movie too. Don't you think this plot is a bit too much?"
"Not at all!" Sammy yelled on the other end of the phone.
But the next day, Kerry still found Jason unwillingly and asked him to secretly delete that plot.
Because of Kerry's behavior yesterday, Sammy, who was very worried about editing and went to check every day, immediately found out again, and immediately ordered Jason to add that plot.
Delete it, add it in!
Delete it, add it in!
delete, add in...
Back and forth countless times!
It was a super long tug of war.
One has to delete that plot;
Another insisted that the plot remain.
In the end, the two got angry at the editor together.
Kerry: [I am an investor, and I order you to delete that plot. ]
Sammy: [I'm the director of the movie, don't delete it! ]
Poor editor Jason was crushed by both of them.
He complained bitterly with blood and tears: "Enough! A good man cannot serve two masters! I resign!"
