Raising Dragons in Hollywood

Chapter 98: Can you do the right thing

Views:

In Sammy's previous films, plots such as blood and violence were mostly hilarious.

Because the little round-faced director has some unusual bad tastes, but in essence, he doesn't want to really scare the audience.

Therefore, in the movie "Snake Bane", most of the snakes under the camera have a silly shape with a flat head and two little black bean eyes, which do not look scary from certain angles, but are rather cute; In "Say Hello to the World", the band members were beaten to death at the bar, but when they were about to leave, they were angry, and at the same time, they did not forget to pack the leftovers; in "The Exorcist", This serious and lively atmosphere has developed to its peak, and the ultimate weapon for heaven to destroy the world is actually a super large reservoir...

From such a variety of speechless film settings, it is enough to see that director Sammy is by no means a serious director.

But this time, it's a little different.

"Here, I want to shoot... to look serious..."

Sammy suddenly ran over and said to the two of them so seriously.

Before that, a scene between Mickey and Mick Lee had been shot no less than twenty times.

In this shot, Professor Hansen, played by Mick Lee, discovers the student who is stalking him, that is, Anderson, the character played by Mickey. He tries to explain the future life development to the lost youth with the attitude of an elder, but he is eventually caught Impressed by the fiery and fierce love of the youth.

In the filming just now, Mick Lee played freely and pleasing to the eye.

But Sammy frowned and suggested, "Can you take it easy... This Professor Hansen is just an ordinary person."

Mick Lee couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression.

At the same time, Mickey was completely distracted, standing beside him.

The underage fire dragon's expression was sluggish, and he couldn't concentrate on the conversation at all.

Because he just discovered that today's little round-faced humans have changed their hair color.

Not too unusual.

Humans have always loved tossing their hair.

But the color change this time is a bit significant for the dragon.

Not long ago, Sammy said, "Since you dyed your hair black for filming, I'll dye your hair red for you, okay?"

Mickey Dragon is super excited. It is the same color as himself. Does rounding mean that human beings and himself become a family (dragon)? Does it imply that the wedding will be done earlier? Did he imply that he would hurry up and take him back to the cave? Does it imply... that a cub in the future will also be red (wrong)

This imagination...

has soared across the sky.

But no matter how beautiful Mai Qilong thought in his heart, and he was full of expectations for it.

After seeing the actual effect...

—What the hell is that yellowish green

-Why is it so soft like a dog's indigestion pulls out

-Didn't you say you want to dye a red the same color as me

- How do you say red is green!

Mikey was shocked for a long time, unable to return to his senses.

Sammy didn't notice the dragon's bewildering gaze.

He was talking to Mick Lee very seriously at the moment: "...Professor Hansen doesn't... You play him a little bit, a little bit, how do you say it? It's too much like a villain boss."

"A guy who will encourage people to murder, what is not the villain?" Mick Lee asked naturally.

Although he has a certain degree of trust in Sammy, he still has his own views on character creation and is very principled: "I know that many actors play some villains out of their own moral values and even worry about the future. The reputation and influence of the actor always try to whitewash the character, and send out a voice to the audience from every detail of 'he has difficulties and is a last resort', but I will not do this! What the character should be is what it is, I'll just act as it is."

"No no, you misunderstood," Sammy said.

He explained seriously: "I don't want you to whitewash the role, but to let you take away your aura. What I want is an ordinary person, a process from oppression to distortion in an overly harsh social environment. , instead of a big guy who can devise a strategy in a minute and kill everyone."

Mick Lee smiled.

He raised his hand and said, "I'll think about it."

So Sammy turned his attention back to Mickey: "Your character, the problem is relatively small..."

But he didn't wait for him to finish.

Michaelon couldn't help but asked: "Sami, what's your hair color today..."

"Ah, does it look good?" Director Sammy's Xiao Yuan's face instantly burst into a bright smile, and her eyes were still sparkling.

He pulled a bunch of hair behind his ears and said happily, "I picked this red in the barber shop for a long time, and I finally chose this red, isn't it good?"

This red

Michaelon was a little worried.

But like that green hat at Christmas.

He will never be able to easily tell the truth and break the near-simple joy of human beings.

The eyes of the underage fire dragon became more and more gentle.

He said loudly in a tone that he had never heard before: "Yeah, yeah, it's very beautiful. Really, like a rose, like a flame, like a ruby..."

"Really, really?" Sammy couldn't help re-reading with the phone's selfie camera.

Mickey applauded for him next to him: "Good-looking, good-looking! There are thousands of human beings in the world, only Sammy is the most beautiful."

Sammy believed.

Mick Lee, who was originally standing aside and quietly thinking about the role, fell into a kind of doubt of 'Am I colorblind, or are they both colorblind'...

But sadly, it soon came to light.

Sammy was too proud of being praised, so he ran to the props engineer and asked that in the film, the protagonists Anderson and Professor Hansen leave the school, and the color of the car that they drove away was set to be red. As for what red

Of course it was as red as my own hair!

The prop master looked at his hair desperately: "Director, are you kidding me?"

The scene was embarrassing for a while.

Later, Sammy took the initiative to find Mickey and complained a little: "Next time I see the wrong color, you can tell me directly. If you always hide it, I don't know what I did wrong. "

Michaelon immediately told him: "The walls of your room are newly painted pink, your favorite sweater is green, and the coat you thought was gray is actually fuchsia..."

Sammy: "Stop! Don't tell me."

However, these are things in the future, and can be ignored here.

After Sammy got a little bit of a new hair color, he returned to the character.

At present, he is quite satisfied with Mikey Long's performance, probably because of his true character. According to the storyline in the complete script, Anderson, the protagonist played by Mikey, wanted to kill Professor Hansen, but couldn't find a chance, so he had to pretend Crush slowly approached the professor.

This means that on the one hand, the actor needs to pretend to be 'I like the male support' on the one hand...

At the same time, it has to make the audience realize that 'I am pretending to like male supporting roles'.

This is still quite difficult for the dragon.

Fortunately, Mickey is Sammy's licking dragon alone.

It was also difficult for him to put the rare feelings of dragons on strangers. He just had to pretend to like Professor Hansen according to the script and proceed normally. Then, there will definitely be flaws (due to his relatively unsophisticated acting skills) that just fit the role.

As a result, Mick Lee, who is serious and dedicated, and Mickey, who fits the roles relatively well, made the whole shooting process cooperate very tacitly.

Sammy worked hard to get all the crew on and off the set, trying to get this part of the shoot to go in one go.

But at this time, I don't know who secretly took a small video of Mickey killing mice, and put it on the Internet.

The next day, Mickey hit the headlines!

The most handsome cover boy who once occupied the national youth magazine, returned to the public eye again, but became famous for killing mice.

The reporters of the newspaper took a picture from the small video. In the picture, the black-haired Maiqi was holding a knife and looked excited, like a pervert, but the emerald eyes on the handsome face were innocent and bright.

Maybe it's because people are too good-looking, how can there be such a handsome pervert in the world

So even if he kills the mouse with a knife, people can't feel bad about him.

Things got weird.

Netizens began to unanimously condemn the person who made Mickey do this: [The actor also has no choice, he must listen to the director. ]

So Sammy lays down the gun.

He really liked it, but he didn't care much about it. After all, even if he directed an actor to kill a mouse, even if it was scolded on the Internet, in the hearts of ordinary people, it would definitely not be called a heinous thing. What's more, it's also a good thing to help my love dragon share the charges.

But animal protection groups popped up!

There is also an organization called the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

The former will send someone to monitor the crew to prevent them from killing innocent animals again.

The latter will send someone to investigate the truth about the death of the rat, and if it involves torture, they will also sue the crew.

The arrival of the two investigators made Sammy super angry.

Because they are running around in the crew, it is very hindering everyone's normal work.

Even more exaggerated is...

They asked the crew to take their pets away.

At that time, there were some cats and dogs in the crew, most of which were raised by the crew themselves.

A movie takes a long time to shoot, and Sammy is a very talkative person besides work, so everyone is allowed to bring pets by default.

Now, the two investigators are asking everyone to send the pets away, citing 'fears about what Sammy might do to the pets'.

Sammy's behavior of preventing theft, fire, and theft made Sammy almost furious: "What do they think I'll do, order Mickey to kill a dog a day with a bread knife?"

Mitch was silent.

He just followed Teacher Bai Mao's remote teaching, and showed his Zuogen passport to the investigators.

Hey!

How can it be said to be cruelty to things between animals
