Raising Dragons in Hollywood

In the shooting scene, there was a very interesting scene.

No matter how many times Mick Lee jumped off the table, he would be picked up again by the mighty Michiron and put back down again.

That scene looked hilarious.

All members of the crew were trying their best to hold back their laughter.

Several times in succession, after discovering that Mikey was always blushing and breathless, scratching himself like a cat...

Mick Lee gave in, and he did what Sammy directed, angrily (no acting at all, real rage) standing on the table and kicking the sticky plate of spaghetti away.

Sammy looked at the screen contentedly.

Since the shooting started for so many days, this is really the most comfortable shooting for him.

But Mick Lee felt deeply offended.

Being grabbed helplessly, being put on the table, being laughed at by everyone in the crew, and being forced to act in a scene I didn't like, all these seriously damaged my self-esteem.

"Do you know what you're doing? You're killing the actor's nature!"

He yelled angrily at Sammy: "What you need is not an actor at all, just a puppet!"

Unfortunately.

Director Sammy's good temper has always been only for his own people.

For this kind of guy who makes trouble for himself...

He was unceremoniously tit-for-tat: "Puppets have many advantages. They never argue, and they don't make superficial comments on art. 【Note】"

Mick Lee fell back angrily.

But on the second day, he brought a super burly bodyguard.

Sammy hurriedly whispered: "This one looks a bit heavy."

Mikey immediately spoke the truth in a bragging tone: "I'm not afraid of ten more."

So, there were two people standing on the table this time.

Although Mai Qilong can't beat his own dragon father, he can carry two humans (even if one of them is stronger) with ease.

Mick Lee completely doubted life this time.

Before he jumped off the table, he turned his head and questioned the bodyguard: "Didn't you say that you have been on the battlefield?"

Bodyguard: "Yes, sir."

Mick Lee: "So you were caught on the table with me?"

Bodyguard: "There is no table on the battlefield, and there is no monster that grabs two grown men onto the table at the same time, sir."

Mick Lee: ...what do you want!

Ultimately, the bodyguard, who didn't help, was fired.

But Mick Lee was still unwilling to go to the Kerry Brothers, who were investors and producers, to file a complaint.

Considering that this is a big star after all.

It is still an important role that may attract audiences to buy tickets after the film is released.

Brother Kerry came to support him.

They tactfully suggested to Sammy: "Mick Lee's idea is also very good. If you adopt it properly, it will also be good for the film."

Director Sammy hit them with the script without saying a word, and jumped off the high director's chair.

Then, he nimbly jumped two steps to the side of the chair, leaned his upper body slightly forward, bowed politely, stretched his arms and gestured a particularly provocative 'please' gesture, his small round face was full of sarcasm: "Come on! , come! The seat is given to you, you come!"

Brother Kerry: ...

In their view, it is too difficult to choose. The two parties in conflict are the big stars who may carry the box office of the film in the future, and the director who has created the project, prepared the script, integrated the crew, and has already filmed half of the film.

The two brothers hesitated for a long time and decided not to wade into the muddy water.

But they didn't want to reject Mick Lee directly, so they quickly disappeared in the name of a business trip.

Mick Lee was so angry that he claimed that "he suffered an unprecedented insult in his life", and in order to protest against the "violent behavior of the crew", he wanted to quit the crew and quit!

When he said that, he thought he would be retained.

But he doesn't know...

Sammy looks super talkative and has a bad temper, but that's just a faux pas.

It's just that he lived a good life since he was a child, and the whole family spoiled him.

I have never suffered any harm from the world, and under normal circumstances, I naturally don't have any particularly cynical thoughts, and it seems particularly beautiful to treat people.

But the essence is heartless.

Because of this good temper, the fundamental reason is that you don't care.

Mick Lee said he was quitting.

Sammy really didn't feel anything.

He is also not very good at weighing gains and losses. He thinks about the straight-line reason of 'since we can't get along, we won't cooperate'.

Therefore, there was no mood swing, neither angry nor disappointed, and answered naturally: "Oh, I see, then you can go!"

However, does Mick Lee really want to go?

Not at all!

Not reconciled.

Don't just watch him stir up trouble in the crew, but it's also because he likes the script and the story.

After getting the script, he originally wanted to play the lead singer, but unfortunately the role of the lead singer was decided by default.

But in the following readings, the role of the guitarist Jon completely attracted his full attention. Therefore, he really put a lot of effort into the role of Jon in the follow-up, otherwise he would not have repeatedly talked with him. Sammy clashes over character setting.

Giving up now would mean giving up all previous efforts?

So, after thinking about it, he found a reason for himself that 'leaving means admitting defeat', and he stayed.

But this time, the atmosphere of the crew was completely different.

Sammy seemed to have had all his patience exhausted by Mick Lee's fuss.

After starting filming again, he was not as patient as before.

He no longer explained his intentions to the actors, nor did he tell them why he did what he did, but simply and rudely made direct requests, forcing the actors to act as he said.

As an actor with a strong desire for control and self-expression, Mick Lee is extremely painful about this situation.

He couldn't discuss the role with the director anymore, and he couldn't play it on his own. The director with a round face who was annoyed made it clear that "either act as I said, or quit".

The rest of the cast were more honest.

In fact, if it weren't for Mick Lee's toss, the crew would really have no thorns.

Wolfe, who plays bass, is an old acquaintance.

After experiencing "The Adventures of Aaron" and "Snake Trouble", he has long been able to boast about Sammy's ability as a director. Tempted, I'm still in the state of 'I'll act as director Sammy says'.

This kind of behavior once aroused Mick Lee's contempt, thinking that he only knows how to hold the director's thigh, and has no thoughts and emotions of his own.

Wolf was cheerful on the surface, but MMP in his heart: "Do you think hugging the director's thigh is very happy? Wrong, you can't imagine the joy of hugging the director's thigh!"

Then, Joseph who plays the drummer.

When this person was in a band before, he belonged to the lower class, and he struggled all the way down. Although his life has been improving day by day in the past few years, he is not as good as Mick Lee at all.Therefore, he has been cautious and very tactful not to stand in line.Even in the event of 'collectively excluding the leading actor', it wasn't particularly obvious, it was more like being unaccustomed to talking to strangers you don't know, rather than 'we've discussed it, just ignore him'.

In this way, Mick Lee is completely alone and helpless.

He began to make frequent mistakes in the shooting, sometimes because he didn't understand Sammy's intentions, and sometimes he simply misunderstood.

The exact opposite of him is...

Mai Qi has ushered in an important stage of rapid development.

Maybe that's a little too provocative.

But in many cases, an actor's performance is more like dedicating everything to the director.

Think about it, when two people seriously discuss plots and characters together, they must not hide their thoughts, opinions, and ideas.

Only then can we completely understand each other, be honest with each other and invest together in the shooting!

Could there be a closer relationship in the world than this?

Even actors may have to pay more, because they need to show themselves unreservedly in front of the camera.

But that's what Mechron does with his little round-faced humans.

Stop thinking about messy things, be undefended, absolutely trust, and show what you think in your heart!

Sammy returned the precious kindness without question.

He took the early image of the character of Mai Qilong seriously enough to be real.

——True, touching ugliness!
