Mickey stood in front of the mirror admiring his handsome appearance, confident that Sammy 'chosen himself'.
But in fact, Sammy was always hesitant when his friend Rosie, the crew, and even the Kerry brothers thought 'Mickey's not bad'.
"What exactly are you dissatisfied with?" Rossi was a little impatient.
After all, the protagonist can’t decide for a long time, and many things in the crew can’t progress, and the filming will be postponed, and the postponement often leads to a series of domino-like changes in the plan, and the time cost and money cost in the process are immeasurable.
As a result, Sammy gave an unbelievable answer: "The leading role has to lose a lot of weight."
He said worriedly: "Mickey is still young, and sudden weight loss will affect his development."
Excuse me
Rosie, who didn't know the identity of the baby Mystery Dragon, especially wanted to grab Sammy and shake it desperately, completely shaking the guy who had lost his mind after falling in love: "Wake up, what are you kidding? That guy is comparable You are taller, stronger than you, and more muscular than you, yet you still have time to worry about his development? Just like him, how can he grow? A giant?"
Sammy puffed up and couldn't explain it, and the whole person was very tangled.
But after Mickey, they auditioned a lot more. However, his acting skills are better than Mickey's, but he is not on camera; if he is a little photogenic, his acting skills are not much better than Mickey's; it is difficult to find both photogenic and good acting skills. Most importantly, the overall aura is also not right.
The aura is very mysterious.
But sometimes, the right actor can make the movie more exciting, on the contrary, the unsuitable actor will make the character out of tune.
And this time the protagonist's aura may be a bit like Sammy, a sense of alienation from the world.
He seems to be out of the world forever. People look at him and sometimes think that he is pretending to be mysterious, but he is just a little boy who doesn't understand anything; but sometimes, he is very mysterious. It seems that he is in a place unknown to everyone. Doing some weird work.
Mikey has a good grasp of this aspect.
In other words, when he was performing, because he didn't know how to express it, he vaguely imitated the human beings he was most familiar with and loved the most.
In a way, this is also a mistake.
Obviously know nothing, but the score is not bad.
However, Rossi privately classifies the situation as the actor's reading of the script.
Because 'he hangs out with Sammy every day, he is all too familiar with Sammy's thoughts and ideas, and the main creator of this script is Sammy', so it is not surprising to have this result, after all, when it comes to right The familiarity of the script, except for Sammy and Hughes, may be him. "
Anyway, Mickey got the role.
But he didn't know that Sammy was actually against it, so he blushed and took Sammy's hand quietly, looking like he was falling in love and losing his mind, patted his chest, and promised loudly, "Don't worry, Sammy, I am here. It will definitely be a good shot.”
Sammy nodded guiltily, feeling a little stressed out for no apparent reason.
To compensate for his little fire dragon, he hired a bunch of chefs, nutritionists and fitness trainers to help Mickey lose weight without hurting his body. It's just that these elites in the human world can play their strengths smoothly when dealing with dragons, it is unknown.
On the other side, after the protagonist was determined, other actors began to take their place one after another.
Based on the idea of 'calling Brother Qi to make a movie' at first, Sammy and Rosie sent out invitations to many old friends.
Some old friends responded to the invitation. For example, actress Nali, who worked with Sammy in both "Snake Bane" and "The Exorcist", was recently filming a cop movie in which she played a hot female detective. But after learning that Sammy was making a new film, he was very happy to ask Sammy to leave her a role, and when she finished filming the hot female detective, she would come over;
There are also some old friends who have no time. Sammy originally wanted to find Bellman, who played the protagonist of "The Exorcist", to play the second male lead. In the selection of a big production fantasy film, he directly asked him to play the leading role at a high price, because the contract was signed and the schedule could not be moved, so he had to reject Sammy.
There is no need to enumerate such cases.
It's just that because of Berman's refusal, there was no suitable candidate for the second male role for a while.
Then, Sammy proposed Mick Lee.
First, we have cooperated once, and we have a basic sense of trust with each other. When shooting, we will have a tacit understanding of many things, no need to re-run, and explain our intentions and ideas with tongue and tongue; second, in "Talking to the World" In "Hello", Mick Lee, who plays the guitarist, and Michaelon, who plays the lead singer, have a strong sense of CP. I don't know if the guitarist and the lead singer are born with a halo of grievance and hatred, or whether the two actors have a unique caused by the chemical reaction, but in a film with homosexual elements, the sense of CP is still very important.
Although this kind of behavior of helping lovers to find CP makes Sammy feel more complicated.
But as a dedicated director, he still did it seriously.
It's just that Mick Lee is very famous and has a arrogant temperament, which has always been difficult to deal with.
Think about it, he wanted to steal the show and make trouble when he played the male supporting role before, but this time it involved sensitive topics and borderline romances, and I don't know if he would like to appear.
In order to show the importance, although not good at communication, Sammy personally called Mick Lee to have dinner with him.
The funny thing is, he just said vaguely: "That... I want to talk to you about movies, you know? Well, I'm currently preparing to make a movie called "Love You Will Kill You", Or "Sharpening the Knife to True Love", in fact, I haven't figured out what it's called, but the script is quite complete, and the crew has been established. In short, the story should be very interesting, I don't know if you are interested in acting... "
"I do! I do!" Mick Lee shouted excitedly without listening to him.
He was so unrestrained and exaggerated that many people around him turned to look at them in amazement, probably thinking that he had entered some marriage proposal scene by mistake
Fortunately, Mick Lee regained his composure after being a little excited for a while.
He smiled reservedly: "I am honored to be the protagonist of your movie."
Sammy was embarrassed for a while.
He told the other party with difficulty: "You are not the protagonist, Mikey is, and you are still the male supporting role."
The happy expression on Mick Lee's face cracked a little bit.
In the movie "Say Hello to the World", he was caught off guard and was violently suppressed by Michaelon and Sammy. Although he didn't care about it afterwards, he was still a little uncomfortable with his performance in the movie. I'm convinced, I want to compare it again with my acting skills.
So, as soon as Sammy came to invite, he said yes.
I just didn't expect that, I thought that this time I turned over to be the master and finally played the protagonist again, but it turned out to be a supporting role.
Sammy thought about it, and felt that the twisted melon was not sweet.
"You can go back and regret it," he said thoughtfully.
Mick Lee was not reconciled.
He finally gritted his teeth: "I don't regret it, I must compete with him (referring to Mickey) this time."
Sammy was stunned: "You can't beat him."
Mick Lee was speechless for two seconds: "What are you thinking? I mean acting."
Acting
If it really compares to acting, in fact, neither Mickey nor Mick Lee can take advantage of it.
Because Rossi and the Kerry brothers didn't know what they said, the actors invited by the crew this time have more or less origins.
The couple who only mentioned the parents of the cameo actor are the veteran actors who have been in Hollywood for more than 20 years. It is really a show. When sitting in front of them and listening to them, it is like being hypnotized. There is no way to get distracted. Their tone, body movements, and word choice are all just right to attract the audience. This is the real actor. In addition, the acting skills of many small supporting roles are not bad. The entire crew is not as patched and impoverished as it was back then. On the contrary, it can be called a gathering of masters.
"Why are you so serious this time?" Sammy couldn't help asking Rosie.
Rossi asked back, "Aren't we serious?"
Sammy squinted, guessing that Rosie was trying to play the real thing this time, because it was too obvious that he wanted to make a good movie from his heart.
But the strength of the crew is not a bad thing. After thinking about it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he put the matter aside and stopped thinking about it.
So, there were the Kerry brothers who opened the way with money and contacts, and then Rosie was busy with all the chores.
Everything was moving in an orderly fashion, and it was happening faster than Sammy could have imagined.
About two weeks later, the film officially started shooting.
Before the official start of filming, the filming plan had not been completely determined, so Sammy took good care of his underage dragon and secretly opened the back door for him: "On the first day of filming, I can choose a simple plot for you, so that you can Try to play it again. Now, go and read the script, pick a simple one and tell me."
In Mickey's scene, Jinglong pretended to be embarrassed, and said softly on purpose: "It's not suitable, we can shoot whatever we need to do, just follow the plan."
Sammy didn't know his duplicity, but he persuaded him in a calculated way: "It's okay, no trouble, just change the order. It's not your problem, I asked you to choose."
Michaelon was very happy.
Thinking 'Sami really likes me', he flipped through the script naturally: "Let's do this scene then."
Sammy agreed without looking at it.
However…
How can a dragon and a human think the same
The first shot is actually:
The protagonist disembowels a mouse in the bedroom with a knife.
While working diligently, the crew members couldn't help but wonder: "Who wrote the shooting plan? Is it so fresh? Challenge the difficulty as soon as you come up?"
Sammy went crazy: "Didn't I ask you to pick an easy one?"
Mickey was stunned: "Isn't it easy to kill a mouse?"
