Raising Dragons in Hollywood

Chapter 97: Sharpening knives to true love

Views:

Mick Lee really thinks too much!

Whether in the eyes of Director Sammy, or in the eyes of Mickey Dragon, he is not a threat.

I want to come to the Magic Dragon: "Sami only likes dragons, not people, and, he has no scales, so ugly, not competitive at all."

Before Sammy wanted to come: "Mickey is still a baby dragon..."

Also, the gay sex in the movie may not be quite what Mick Lee thinks.

In fact, he has yet to see the full script for the film.

During a Hollywood film shoot, most actors ask to see the full script before signing on.

After all, if you don't read the script, the ghost knows what kind of hapless character you will be asked to play.

But there are very rare cases.

The producer must do this out of confidentiality or some special shooting needs.

Then, after the actors agree, they get a character script.

That is to say, a single-character script that only writes a plot related to the role that you play, without the overall plot, and without the plot of other characters.

This kind of situation with only a single character script is usually more risky.

Because the actor has no way to analyze and confirm the real proportion of his role in the film, and there is no way to ensure that his character is likable in the plot and the impact after the release is beneficial.

Therefore, unless it is a well-known director with excellent reputation and some promising crew, or because of some kind of unequal contract, or if they especially want to participate in the role, the actors will not easily agree to such a request .

Since Mick Lee has not signed any unequal contract, his desire to participate in the role has not reached the point where it is absolutely necessary.

Then, the latter two reasons can be ruled out first, only the first one - a well-known director with excellent reputation and a promising crew.

In fact, Mick Lee agreed to participate this time, and a large part of the factor was indeed directed at the combination of Sammy and Mickey.

Needless to say about Sammy, the most famous director in Hollywood recently.

In terms of credibility, he has yet to speak out, lie and deceive people, and because he is often disgusted by fans on the Internet because of his nonsense (speaking) (big) speaking (truth).

It even led to the unanimous opinion of black fans:

[If this bastard knew how to lie, we wouldn't be here. ]

In contrast, his reputation for work is surprisingly good.

His professional ability is well-known in the industry, and there is no hype from beginning to end, all relying on a series of genuine works to speak.

As for the protagonist Mickey this time...

Although in the eyes of many people, Mickey has no representative works at all, it is not so much an actor as a beautiful vase.

But Mick Lee doesn't think so.

When entering the crew of "Say Hello to the World", the well-known Hollywood star once thought Mickey was a vase.

Moreover, he was very unwilling to match him, and played some small tricks to steal the show.

But soon, he was impressed by Mickey's talent.

Of course, the talent mentioned here definitely does not refer to the infinite power that can easily lift people up, nor does it refer to the excellent imitation skills of others' words and deeds, but a very mysterious, unskilled, pure wild talent .

Put it this way.

Others use skill to play a role.

Mikey is not.

He just imitated his words and deeds first, and then worked hard to make himself this character.

After Mickey is completely in the state, Mick Lee will feel a lot of pressure when he officially plays against him.

Next, wait for the movie to come out.

Sure enough, the protagonist he played, the band's lead singer Colin, almost stole everyone's limelight. He was like a real lead singer, standing in the center of the stage with a strong sense of presence, making the rest of the band a background. The board also makes the audience's eyes all focus on themselves.

certainly.

This talent is not flawless, on the contrary, it is very limited.

There is no way for people to change themselves into a completely different person (the same is true for dragons).

Therefore, the premise for Mickey to make himself a character is that he must have a certain sense of fit with this character in character, and it is best to have a template around him for imitating behaviors and actions.

Before that, when filming "Say Hello to the World", Colin, the lead singer of the band Hello, was the template he imitated.

And the stubbornness and simple childishness of the character's pursuit of dreams coincides with some of his characteristics.

For a lazy dragon, chasing dreams is relatively rare, but chasing treasures is common.

The two can communicate with each other.

After all, Longsheng is alive, only gold and silver jewelry highlighting powder can not live up to it.

How about it? Persistent enough, stubborn enough, persevering enough

At the same time, it may be that they have not experienced the real beating.

The little fire dragon from the fairy tale world has a feeling of innocence (after all, it is still a minor).

These traits are very well expressed in human characters.

The audience watched him fight foolishly on the big screen. In fact, it was a bit like watching a stupid child smash his head and blood in the society, and naturally some desire to protect. So much so that when he faced setbacks many times, he still led the band forward bravely, persisted again and again, failed again and again, and finally broke down and cried, "I'm just an ordinary person".

For the above reasons.

Mick Lee believes that Mickey is not a vase at all, but should be classified as a specific actor.

A specific actor should belong to: when encountering a suitable role, he can perform at an exceptional level; if he is unlucky and encounters an unsuitable role, he can only brush his face.

But whether it is specific or not, Mickey is obviously a reliable actor (face brushing is also very important for shooting).

Such a reliable actor has not had any movement since the film "Say Hello to the World", which must be because he did not find a suitable role (not) and a better script.

So, continue to analyze in this way...

Now that Mychicken has reappeared, it must have found the right role and script.

Consider again some of the precise directions Sammy gave Mickey earlier on the set of "Say Hello to the World."

Mick Lee was instantly moved: "This movie is good."

Although Mick Lee, who was holding the character script, didn't know much about the plot of the whole movie, he didn't know much about the protagonist that Mickey played this time. But only for Sammy and Mickey, he still has confidence in the movie.

Especially after knowing the relationship between the two, I feel more confident.

After all, "Director Sammy doesn't want to put his lover in it, right?"

Therefore, with years of experience in Hollywood, Mick Lee is still very optimistic about this crew.

However, the only thing he didn't expect...

Probably because of his embarrassed 'being a junior'.

For this reason, it is rare to feel a little uneasy.

But work is work, and no matter how uneasy in my heart, Mick Lee still plays the role professionally.

This time, he played the role of a professor in the school, with a mild and introverted temperament, not good at rejecting. He is the kind of honest ordinary person who is accustomed to living step by step. Even if his sexuality is different, he just tries to suppress himself until he accidentally finds out. When the student Anderson (Mickey plays the role) has a crush on himself, it is like an old house on fire. While he thinks it is wrong intellectually, he is very emotionally touched, and this touch will continue with Anderson's continuous.' Pursue', and deepen it little by little, until it's hard to extricate yourself.

This is the type that Mick Lee has never played.

Especially the emotional complexity and inconsistency of the characters are a huge challenge for him.

So, in order to play the role well, he tried to concentrate fully on the role played by Mickey.

But whenever he wanted to show a little emotion, when he looked up, he just saw Director Sammy standing across from him, looking at him with piercing eyes... His expression suddenly froze.

Sammy was photographed with this stiff expression.

As soon as it was filmed, he called out with satisfaction.

But Mick Lee didn't know that at all.

On the one hand, he was embarrassed by the mistake, and on the other hand, he was embarrassed because he didn't control his emotions properly, but on the surface, he still said professionally: "Sorry, I'm distracted, let's reshoot."

Sammy laughed like an oil-stealing mouse, and waved his hands again and again: "No, it's fine."

Mick Lee looked suspicious and hesitated.

However, Sammy noticed this, and knew that the good actor in charge was not reassured by the effect he had just shot.

But he just didn't want to explain, instead he felt badly that it was fun.

As for being jealous...

That is impossible!

You know, the current movie has been temporarily named "Love You Will Kill You".

But in fact, Sammy prefers another name for the movie - "Sharpening the Knife to True Love"!

Mick Lee actually heard the name of the movie.

But he may carelessly only remember "Love You Will Kill You", ignoring the original "Sharpening the Knife to True Love".

If you know it, maybe you can guess one or two points of the plot from such a straightforward statement, and realize the uniqueness of the movie.

In other words, in this film, the way love is shown will be very different from the past.

During a shoot where Mick Lee was away...

The protagonist played by Mickey is like a super good student, sitting at the writing desk with the lamp on, writing a diary seriously.

At this time, the camera will rotate gently around him.

Then, moving slowly to the open page of his diary, paused.

Under the dim and warm light, Mickey conscientiously used regular fonts to write neatly and line by line [Kill Professor Hansen's (played by Mick Lee) PlanD], and in the title of this PlanD Below is a detailed, practical, step-by-step murder plan.

After all was written, Mickey showed a bright smile.

Then, at Sammy's request, he giggled and took out a sharp knife and a small sharpening stone from the drawer, and sharpened the knife 'click, click'!

Moreover, his sharpening posture is extremely smooth and natural.

He and Sammy stayed up in the middle of the night and insisted on getting up and polishing, waxing, and varnishing the Dragon-slaying Great Sword, completely in the same vein.

Sammy nodded in admiration, and asked casually, "Have you practiced specifically?"

Mai Qilong smiled and looked rather embarrassed: "No, don't get me wrong, I really never thought of breaking your Dragon Slayer Sword, just grind it casually."
