Raising Dragons in Hollywood

Chapter 17 The Adventures of Aaron the Brawny

The filming proceeded in an orderly manner.

Sammy acted (and pretended) not to be a rookie at all, he seemed confident and confident, and this emotion undoubtedly infected the members of the cast.

Although this 'assistant director' looks small and cute, even if he has a straight face, it has no deterrent effect.

But I don't know why, when he is there to direct, everyone has an inexplicable sense of security, as if they have to do what he asks, so they don't have to think about anything, and don't have to worry about it.

Afterwards, when Director Jones saw the samples of this scene, he couldn't help falling into silence.

But he said something like this to Sami: "I admit your ability, but is it really necessary for you to do this?"

Sammy looked at him suspiciously: "Sorry, what do you mean?"

Director Jones sighed.

This well-known alcoholic rarely stayed sober, and even looked at the talented newcomer in front of him quietly with a bit of wisdom: "For example, you are an excellent captain. Now , you are about to go on a long voyage. At this moment, there is such a broken ship that is about to sink, leaky, decayed, and unloved. Boarding this ship is obviously uncertain; but at the same time, the shipyard There is a new boat. It is big and beautiful. It has never been weathered. It has never been used. It is completely up to you to choose what to do with it. It is undoubtedly a great future to board this boat. So why do you insist on choosing a boat? What about the wreck?"

Sammy thought a lot.

In the end, there was only a very simple sentence: "The first thing I saw was the broken ship."

Director Jones has nothing to do with him.

But I have to say, watching a newcomer work so hard really touched him a bit: "Okay, okay, it's not time to give up...you can see the hell, the reward is not directly proportional to the effort, why on earth am I Want to go crazy with this little fool?"

But anyway, Sammy had some initial success after proving that he could direct the crew without messing around.

His serious personality, coupled with his persistent persistence until he achieves his goal, annoyed Director Jones so much that he finally agreed to think about the future development of "The Adventures of Young Aaron" with him.

Speaking of the TV series "The Adventures of Young Aaron"...

In fact, it was a good drama in the early years, and it had a brilliant period of glory.

It is mainly based on 'adventure', mixed with a little fantasy color, using the life of the young protagonist Aaron as the clue of the whole play, telling some interesting and exotic adventure stories.

For example, the first season of this show tells the story of the Aaron family in Egypt.

The specific plot is that Aaron's parents took Aaron to travel to Egypt during the summer vacation.

Unexpectedly, the family encountered tomb robbers stealing the tomb of the pharaoh, and what was even more unlucky was that the owner of the tomb, the pharaoh of ancient Egypt, was woken up by these tomb robbers.

But the pharaoh failed to catch the tomb robber, and due to certain restrictions, he couldn't leave the tomb.

He unreasonably angered the Aaron family who happened to be on the sidelines because of a conflict with the tomb robbers. treasure.

Therefore, the Aaron family had to use all their ingenuity to fight wits and bravery with the tomb robbers in the next time, and find the things lost by the Pharaoh in order to lift the curse on them.

Since it is the first season of the TV series, although there are a few crude places, it was filmed with great care.

The rhythm of the plot is set just right. From the beginning of the plot, Aaron gets lost, the family gets lost in the pyramid, accidentally breaks through the tomb robber, the tomb robber wants to kill, the pharaoh wakes up, is cursed, chases down the tomb robber, meets the police by chance...

That is, every time the audience breathes a sigh of relief, new questions immediately arise.

In this season, the Aaron family is like a small sailboat struggling in the rough seas. All kinds of thrilling encounters affect the hearts of the audience, so that everyone can't help but keep watching.

By the second season of the TV series, the control of the plot rhythm was not so good.

But the fire in the first season brought sufficient funds, so the advantage of the second season lies in its excellent production.

The Aaron family decided to travel again.

By the way, this is what makes the audience complain the most about this show. This is what happens when the family travels.

But what is unscientific is that they travel as long as they have vacations.

This time, their destination is Greece.

As a result, Aaron, a teenager with the protagonist's physique, encountered trouble again.

He picked up a golden apple written 'To the Fairest Goddess'.

Moreover, after picking up the golden apple, three beauties who had never seen before appeared by his side one after another, asking him for the golden apple openly.

At the beginning, Aaron asked them generously: "Which of you is the owner?"

As a result, the three women couldn't understand human speech, and they all answered irrelevantly: "Whoever you choose to give it to, it belongs to whom."

Aaron thought to himself: 'Are you kidding me?You are not the owner, why should I give you the gold I found? '

He ignored the strange woman, turned around and handed the golden apple to the parent—Aaron's mother.

Aaron's mother was a bit of a money fanatic, and sold the golden apples for money when she went out.

She also said happily: "Now we have earned back the money we spent on traveling!"

Aaron's father applauded and applauded his wife's housekeeping.

The beauties who are actually three goddesses: "..."

This is good, the family was thrown into the vortex of history by the angry three goddesses, and experienced the Battle of Troy.

In order to return to the modern society, the Aaron family must find the golden apple that was "given away casually by Aaron", "taken by the mother for money", and "disregarded by the father".

This season is not as tense and thrilling as the first season, but it is undoubtedly more suitable for family entertainment.

Whether it is the plot or the lines, there are many spoofs, which make people laugh out loud.

The audience is happy to see the three high-ranking goddesses being bullied by the young Aaron, and also thinks that the Aaron family uses modern thinking to deal with ancient people is very interesting. Therefore, the filming of this season, the plot It's a bit messy and nothing special, but the ratings are good.

What really went downhill was season three.

The Aaron family is traveling again, but this time on their own initiative, because Aaron found a treasure map.

From here, the show's path went awry.

Although the adventure life of young Aaron made everyone very happy to watch, in fact, the characters of Aaron's family are also part of the audience's welcome.Aaron is a standard big boy, heartless, optimistic and brave; Aaron's mother is a bit of a money fanatic, but kind-hearted, and her love for her son makes her willing to give everything; Aaron's father is a bit careless, likes to drink, but works hard , Caring for family members, full of sense of justice.

Although they were involved in inexplicable incidents from time to time, they were all forced.

In essence, they are like relatives, friends, or neighbors around everyone. They are ordinary, and they have to study, live and work seriously every day, but they are accidentally involved in some troubles during the holidays. .

This gives the audience a very strong sense of substitution.

They look at the Aaron family's experience as if they are part of it themselves, and derive great satisfaction from it.

In the third season, Aaron found the treasure map, and after the family discussed it, they decided to find the treasure.

You must know that although there are minor flaws in the role setting of the Aaron family, what they love the most is that they are cheerful, contented, and love life, and they never imagine that there will be pies in the sky.

For example, their travel funds were saved one after another over a year with the concerted efforts of the whole family.

But this time, because of an illusory treasure map, both Aaron's mother and Aaron's father asked for leave from work, and Aaron also played truant from school. The whole family dispatched?

Who knows what the screenwriter of the third season thought, maybe they wanted to change the style?

Moreover, this time, Aaron's mother, who was originally a cute money fan, was infinitely expanded, desperately looking for treasures, which first aroused the audience's disgust; Aaron's father is obviously just an ordinary office worker, but in this movie Acting like an explorer, adding a lot of skills out of thin air.

What has changed even more is the protagonist Aaron.

His role is weakened to the extreme, as if he is responsible for adding chaos and advancing the plot by luck.

In other words, the personal settings of the three important characters have all collapsed.

It is conceivable that the ratings began to decline tragically.

So, by the fourth season, the show has become a super big mess.

The original screenwriter had a conflict with the producer due to the failure of the third season, and finally chose to leave, and the follow-up plot was unsustainable for a while; several resident characters, although not the main characters, were also popular with the audience. After finding a better crew, he left without hesitation.In order to explain their departure, the new screenwriter hastily made up a plot that was unacceptable to the audience, which again caused the ratings to drop; the situation of the crew was not good, and the company's investment in funds began to be cut...

In addition, the actor who plays the protagonist Aaron has gradually become a big problem.

He's starting to grow up.

Some teenagers in the United States have been developing rapidly. Aaron, a 14-year-old boy, is lively and cheerful, and looks like a child.

But by the time of the fourth season, the young actor was already fast, his whole body was like an inflated balloon, inflated all the way, and finally, he was tall and big, with a big waist and a round waist, and became a man who could run rampant and gallop on the football field. Strong quarterback.

So, when Sammy, who is only about 1.7 meters tall, stood next to this actor...

He looked up sadly, and found that the other party was half a head taller than himself! !

It's all like this, are you still young?

Are the audience fools?

Sammy silently crossed out the word 'boy' in "The Adventures of Young Aaron" and wrote 'strong man' next to it.

Director Jones accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene and sprayed out the wine!

Just stop messing around, okay?

The Adventures of Aaron the Brawny...Can this sound good?
