Raising Dragons in Hollywood

According to Sammy's original intention, he didn't want to show the Kerry brothers a sample.

At this time, the film only has a rough cut of a part of the plot, the soundtrack is not yet complete, and there are some goofy scenes in the middle that have not been processed well.

This made Sammy a little upset.

After all, who wants to show off their unfinished work?

but……

——You have to show us, this is our common movie, isn’t it?

——We also invested in this movie, right?We have to see it!

——You can’t let us know nothing. If someone asks us what the movie is about, it would be embarrassing for us not to be able to answer.

—Please, Sammy, let's see.

——We have invested so much financial, material and manpower, and we have worked hard to promote it (Sammy: Oh, I have learned a lot, so you call 'hyping the discord between directors and actors' as propaganda), we We're a team, we're a family, you can't totally leave us out!

The Kerry Brothers reacted like a piece of super brown candy, constantly sticking to it, stalking, soft and hard.

This is the final reason why Sammy is so unhappy, but still reluctantly agrees to show them the sample - he is getting bored to death!

"Please understand the anticipation of us poor movie fans." Little Kerry accepted as soon as he saw it, and he was very eloquent as always.

He put on a smiley face, and tried to turn the matter of "the black-hearted boss urged and inspected the work of the employees" into a better-sounding excuse of "film fans can't wait to see the director's new work" .

But Sammy wouldn't take that.

In some respects, he is really stupid and sweet enough to be coaxed, but his IQ has always been high, and his mind is clear enough.

Therefore, he knew that for businessmen like the Kerry Brothers who have always put interests first, as long as they have value worthy of investment, their friendly attitude will last for a long time, but once they lose value... …

It's very simple, just look at what they did to the Hello band later!

Therefore, no matter how smooth-talking Little Kerry is.

Sammy kept his expressionless face all the time, and didn't even bother to find the big screen for them. He pulled out the semi-finished samples of the movie from the computer and showed them directly.

But perhaps the best quality of the Kerry Brothers is their flexibility.

As we all know, in music, film and television and other industries that are related to art, it is very easy to have some strange talents.And these wizards often have unique and unique artistic talents.

But at the same time, while possessing excellent artistic talent, they tend to be sensitive in heart, feel more real about the world, their emotions fluctuate, come and go quickly, sometimes they are so excited that they want to go to heaven, sometimes they are so excited. So decadent that I wanted to jump off the building.In the eyes of ordinary people, it is only a small matter, but for them, it is often rapidly magnified into a major event comparable to a volcanic earthquake, and then a violent and difficult temper erupts, making a mess around them.

So, these people are very difficult to deal with.

To give a simple example, even Sami, who looks the most normal, belongs to the very sick group compared with normal people.

Don't look at Mikey who seems to have become his good friend easily.

But that's all because Mikey, like him, believes in the existence of dragons (Michielon: Of course I believe I exist).

other people……

If once he showed even the slightest negative emotion towards his dragon slaying dream.

The so-called non-positive emotions here include raising eyebrows suspiciously, grinning slightly wanting to smile, and even a perfunctory word or two involuntarily.

Even if there is no malice, he will be blacklisted by Sammy immediately, and will be labeled as "this person is not with me" for no reason. In this case, it is difficult to get his friendship. more difficult.

As for the more serious ones, those who dare to laugh and ridicule face to face...

Sami will probably rush home immediately, and drag eight older brothers to go out together (the child is not stupid, the child is smart, if he can't beat him, he can ask his brothers for help, even if the brothers don't get the inheritance of warriors, but after all, everyone is a warrior Bloodlines, we should come out together, be friendly and help each other), and fight to defend the reputation of dragon slaying warriors.

It sounds a little funny.

But it is indeed the case.

Therefore, you must be cautious when dealing with such people (psychopaths).

Do not touch their bottom line;

not stimulate their emotions;

Do not disturb their so-called dream chasing all day long;

But they have to find a way to coax them to work for themselves.

This is definitely a very difficult and very technical job.

The Kerry brothers weren't particularly good at it either.

But their advantage is that...

He can let go of the figure of the big boss at any time, doesn't care about every detail, and has enough heart and patience to tolerate these weirdos.

In other words, their strong desire to pursue interests has surpassed everything, so naturally they can overcome everything.

As long as they can get enough benefits, let alone put up with those geniuses with eccentric temperaments, even if they let them hold a piece of dog shit as a treasure, they will be happy.

So, even if these two people have various flaws...

But this single quality is enough for them to make a living in the whole circle.

It's the same this time.

Even though they knew they were unwelcome, the two happily huddled together in front of a computer, smiling and thanking Sami friendly.

Just hit this point.

There was no way or reason for Sammy to continue losing his temper. On the contrary, he was a little bit cautious.

The Kerry Brothers are ready to watch a movie.

At this time, Wolfe, who was the best at drilling in the crew, heard the news that they were coming, and even came here to show his hospitality.He served the two brothers two cups of excellent pour-over coffee that he said he made himself.

But how could the Kerry brothers remember a puny little actor?

At this moment, they have long forgotten the fact that "I once praised Wolfe's wonderful performance in "Snake Trouble" in front of Sammy, so he tried his best to persuade Sammy to let Wolfe join the group and play an important role".

Therefore, Little Kerry looked at the other party with rather strange eyes, and said very politely and politely: "Thank you, Joseph."

no doubt.

They mixed up the names of the actors who played the bass player and the drummer.

Wolfe was stunned for two seconds, shocked, disappointed, unbelievable, and embarrassed.

After a while, he replied in embarrassment: "Uh, actually, I'm Wolfe."

"Oh!"

Xiao Ke changed his name again without changing his face, and said again: "Thank you, Wolf."

Wolff laughed a little, not daring to get angry, and responded in a low voice: "You're welcome."

Are you two here for comedy?

Where did this come from?

Sami was so amused by this little episode that he almost died of laughter, and all the bad moods before were swept away.

At this time, the semi-finished movie "Say Hello to the World" also began to play.

When Sammy first met Hello, he made jokes about the word Hello.

Therefore, when thinking about naming the film, he directly used "SayHello" at the beginning. On the one hand, it was hinting at the team name of the Hello band;

But later, when the filming was finished, he and the editor worked out how to edit it together, looking at all the plots of the film.

He suddenly thought that maybe using "Say Hello to the World" could better reflect the band's optimism, so he changed the name again.

The Kerry brothers have no problem with the film's words.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, the two of them still appeared to be very concentrated on the surface... they fast-forwarded, skipped the only complete theme song that had just been confirmed, and watched the plot.

Sammy: ...

"The story started out pretty well."

Da Kerry pretended to be very professional and made a comment.

"I prefer the dancing girls at the back of the stage."

Little Kerry also joked easily.

The atmosphere is quite relaxed.

But soon, or even less than ten kinds, the plot took a turn for the worse.

This is also inevitable.

The story is based on the band Hello.

But the Hello band can't really be called a lucky band with smooth sailing.

The expressions of the Kerry brothers coincided with the progress of the plot, and gradually became serious.

At first, they were a little confused and novel, but when the plot slowly unfolded, they felt more and more unspeakable.

Because they have seen too many extremely familiar people, things, objects and plots in the film.

Frankly speaking, Sammy is not making a documentary.

Because in his opinion, no matter how true the documentary claims to be, its essence is a performance.

Moreover, in many cases, in order to act more realistically, documentaries will appear more false and contrived.

From the beginning to the end, he just wanted to use the experience of the Hello band to tell a simple, even extremely clichéd story, a story of persistent pursuit of dreams.

In this way, there is no framework set for myself.

Naturally, unlimited dramatic play and excavation can be carried out in the plot.

Like, why isn't the band making money on tour?

Because the money was taken by the company.

For example, why didn't the money from the record go to the band?

Because of being cheated by the company.

Like, why is the band's reputation going from bad to worse?

Because companies use their songs to advertise crap.

For example, what did the company do when the band finally fell to that point?

Of course let them go!

This level of play and digging...

If you are an ordinary audience, you may not feel much, at most you will laugh at the band's unlucky experience.

But for the Kerry brothers, who started out in music, they are a little restless.

They felt a sense of embarrassment inexplicably "being pushed to the ground by someone unexpectedly and slapped wildly across the face".

For example, near the end of the film, Sammy filmed this passage very truthfully because he was so upset about the fact that the Kerry brothers did not pay the copyright fee of Hello Band:

——Let’s buy a copyright from the band Hello and make a documentary for them, shall we?

--Can.

—Then I'll talk to them now and see how much to pay.

—Wait, why pay them?

——…

——Making documentaries for them is free publicity. Why should we give them money when we help them publicize?

and many more!

Depend on! ! !

this plot?

Did you do it on purpose?

This is pointing at our noses and cursing!

"This little dwarf is too annoying! Why did everything get shot in the movie?"

The two brothers had this idea in unison.

But at the same time, they couldn't help thinking about it, but the more they thought about it, the more confused they became: "What's going on? Did we really do the Hello band in the movie? No? Uh, maybe there was? But that seems to be another company. The band, isn't it Hello? Is it the Hello band? No... damn it! I can't remember!"

obviously.

On the one hand, it may be that the two brothers have done a lot of immoral things, so that they can’t remember them clearly; I got dizzy.

The semi-finished film was played quietly in the silence.

The Kerry brothers were in no mood to chat at all.

In an odd silence, they finished watching the half-finished film without saying a word.

All the while Sammy sat and sipped his tea.

At the beginning, he still had a little guilty conscience, but after watching it, he became more confident: [The movie is originally a fiction, if you foolishly insist on substituting yourself into it, then it's none of my business! ]

But as mentioned above, the success of the Kerry brothers does have their unique features.

Facing such a film, he almost pointed at them and yelled [It's you, you sinister and cunning people, that made the protagonist band's journey rough and down!You shameless villains, why don't you get out now and apologize with your death! ]'s videos...

The two brothers were not particularly angry.

After a long silence, they looked at each other again.

Probably the teaching of Jesus [when someone slaps you on the right cheek, you give him the other slap too] came into play at this moment.

The two of them couldn't hold back, turned their heads together, and asked Sami a stubborn question: "Can the film really make money?"

Depend on! ! !

It's fucking amazing! ! ! !

I really didn't expect to get such a wonderful movie-watching feedback.

Sammy, who was still drinking tea casually, almost spit out all the tea in his mouth!
