Raising Dragons in Hollywood

[-]. [Brother Kerry in action]

Just as the Kerry brothers couldn't figure out how there could be people like Sammy who "make movies for nothing" in the world;

Sammy will probably never understand why there are Kerry brothers in the world who don't discuss whether the movie is good or not after watching the movie, don't express whether they like it or not, and don't care whether the plot of the movie is slapstick. Money money money' super layman!

After the three of them looked at each other, they felt that they were not speculating on each other.

The Kerry brothers didn't show any dissatisfaction on the surface, but the plot of the film was filmed like that by Sammy, which must have made people a little uncomfortable.

So, they politely took their leave and left;

Sammy didn't even send them off, and continued to discuss the follow-up work of the film with the editor.

"Brother, what do you think?"

On the way back, Da Keli asked in a low voice.

"I'm not sure, bro. You know, I've never been interested in movies, but..."

Little Kerry thought hesitantly and answered: "As far as I know, Hollywood has not had music-themed movies before, but most of them received mediocre response, and a few of them can only be said to be popular in a small range. Maybe they didn't lose money, but Not particularly profitable."

"So, you mean you don't like it?"

"It looks good to me, but I can't find a successful precedent."

The two brothers couldn't help but Qiqi fell into silence.

Then, Da Keli suddenly asked again: "How is the recent filming of our "Snake Town", which imitated "Snake Trouble"?"

Little Kerry thought about it, and couldn't help laughing: "I heard it's not bad, my secretary went to see it, and came back and told me it was scary."

Obviously.

The brothers aren't pinning all their hopes on Sammy's new movie.

While Sammy was busy filming Say Hello to the World...

Out of ignorance, paranoia, and a strange sense of self-confidence, these two brothers actually churned out a "Snake Town" and tried to pretend it was a sequel to "Snake Woe."

Sammy was completely unaware of this.

However, when he found out later, he was simply blown away!

Not to mention how infuriating it is to sneak a sequel into a movie without his permission.

Just talking about the main storyline of that rubbish movie, it almost completely replicated the storyline in "The Snake".

The same group of people suffered from snakes; the same group of people were forced to flee the town by snakes, and even some lines have similarities.

If the creator is one person, it can also be said that this repetition is intentional and pays tribute to the easter egg of the previous one, but there are completely two creators, so it can only be said to be plagiarism without intention!

This is the thing that Sami can't bear the most: plagiarism must be copied to a certain level!

After copying for a long time, what was produced in the end was very shoddy garbage, which almost wiped out the audience's favorability of the last "Snake Trouble". Although he didn't plan to make any sequels in the future, he didn't care much about making this series Take it for others to shoot.

But what he can't stand is...

It's so insulting that my name will be constantly linked with the follow-up trash movies by fans who don't know the truth.

For this reason, no matter how hard Brother Kerry can bend and stretch, treat him politely and tolerate him at all times.

He still broke up with the Kerry brothers completely.

Not to mention here.

In short, perhaps because of the success of "Snake Trouble", the Kerry brothers still have a little more confidence in monster horror films.

Moreover, there is a relatively shallow and obscure reason.

In this "Say Hello to the World" (Say Hello to the World) film, many plots are understated, touch and go, and do not go deep, but some details of the plot really reveal a lot of things in the music industry. On the dark side, the Kerry brothers, who are also involved in the music industry and have not been so innocent, subconsciously avoid such a movie.

Under such circumstances, the two brothers can't help but deceive themselves: "Isn't it more exciting, more gimmicky, and more attractive to watch a monster movie than watching a strange little band that never succeeds?"

Therefore, when conducting the discussion meeting on the film release plan in the second half of the year, the Kerry brothers are more inclined to promote "Snake Town" with all their strength.

I'm a little sorry for Sammy though.

But from their point of view, Sammy had been told so many times to make a sequel, so why did he refuse?No wonder they looked for someone else.

However, after making this decision,

The two brothers turned their heads and thought about it. Out of greed for eating more and taking more, they were not willing to give up the new movie in Sami's hands.

It just so happens that Sammy has been busy making music for the film recently...

"Maybe, we can help with music matters." They couldn't help thinking.

Brother Kerry really meant well this time.

After all, as investors of the film, they and Sami are inherently a community of interests, and it is impossible to deliberately entrap the film and make the film worse.

Based on this, they came up with a (think) brilliant idea.

That is to insert more songs from well-known bands in the film, and use the fame of some music stars to increase the appeal of the film.

They used to be in the music production industry, so the two brothers have a lot of connections in this area.

After making up their minds, they started to contact people everywhere.

The first thing I contacted was a super hot girl group, a pop idol who has been popular for the past one or two years, with a pretty face and a hot body, a teenage idol through and through.

The Kerry brothers approached their current manager and asked if they could use the song "Sweet Girl" from their new album to win over younger teenagers;

After spending the money, they found another singer named Old Ian and wanted his masterpiece "Forgive Me".

This singer became famous decades ago and is a well-known senior figure in the music scene. Most of his fans are over 50 and [-] years old, and there are many middle-aged and elderly fans;

Toto relationship, finding someone is also easy to handle.

Then, still not satisfied, they contacted the popular Planet Band who had toured in the United States.

This band is a British band, and it can be regarded as an evergreen tree in the music scene.

Although the four members are often reported by the media as "a small gang of street hooligans who got lucky", they have continued to be popular for more than ten years, and they are super able to toss through disbandment and reorganization, disbandment and reorganization, and have been training fans I have to change from crying to almost nerve-numbing calm and calm, but miraculously still not losing fans.Moreover, with its unique personality (shameless) and miraculous charm (shameless), Shengsheng still attracts waves of new generations of ignorant boys and girls into the pit.Therefore, their audience is wider, ranging from boys and girls in their fifteenth or sixteenth year, to (after the earliest wave of fans grew up) men and women in their thirties.

Out of personal preference...

The Kerry brothers fell in love with their old classic song "The Witch".

But unfortunately, the lead singer and guitarist of this band just made headlines because of a quarrel, and they fought in the street, disrupting social order, and were sanctioned by the police uncle with an iron fist. They are currently traveling in prison for two days, and the song copyright has become a bit Difficult to do.

Although it is said that when visiting the prison, you can also sign a contract.

But... At the beginning, the lead singer agreed very well, but the guitarist disagreed fiercely; but after a few days, the guitarist was finally persuaded to agree, and the lead singer began to firmly disagree.

Their agent urged them to make a quick decision, saying that the buyer was getting impatient.

As a result, the two dogs turned their faces in an instant, and their attitudes were extremely bad: "Stop fucking nonsense, wait if you like it, and get out if you don't like waiting!"

It just doesn't make sense!

The Kerry brothers had been in the music industry for a long time in their early years, and it was the first time they met such an annoying band: "Damn Brits!"

In the end, they had to choose to abandon such an annoying band and try to contact another band of naughty boys.

Ablit, the lead singer of this band, happened to have a deep grievance with the Planetary Band, so he was really happy to be able to cut off the work of the Planetary Band halfway.No need to rush, the lead singer took the initiative to send the song over, and it was not picked randomly, it was the best-selling golden song released by their band for a while.

According to lead singer Ablit himself, this best-selling golden song is dedicated to recording the precious friendship between himself and Jimmy, the lead singer of the Planetary Band.

The name of the song is: "Dude, You Look Like a Girl"!

Uh, is that how you Brits express friendship?

Brother Kerry: ...

But never mind the love-hate relationship between those bands.

They are happy to have a bumper harvest!

In addition to the above singers, I also found seven or eight musicians, and finally, I returned with a full load!

In the eyes of the two brothers, this action is really wise!

If all these songs can be interspersed in the movie, even just relying on the name of the band is enough to call some diehard fans into the movie theater.

Regardless of whether their (brain-dead) behavior is appropriate or not.

It must be admitted that the two brothers really put in their best efforts.

In order to get the right to use these songs, they cheated everywhere, asked for connections, and put their dignity at the lowest level without caring: "Help, help, brother! I just made a movie, it's not good , I really need help from my brothers! To save face, please help me!"

However, when they triumphantly put the hard-earned results in front of Sammy, and triumphantly expressed their wonderful ideas...

Sammy was about to suffocate.

Grass!

What the hell is this!

What's going on in your pig's head, buddy?

We are making a movie!

shoot!electricity! !film! ! !

It's not a fucking golden melody skewer!

I know you guys don't like the band Hello!

But have you forgotten?In this movie, the band Hello is the main character!

Instead of the band's original song from the movie...

Instead, they used songs from other bands, what the hell is that?

Impressed!

Sammy thinks that the work of these two people is not only stupid to the extreme, but also wasteful to the extreme!

This kind of self-absorbed disservice does not arouse one's interest at all, let alone give any appreciation and encouragement.

Anyway, on the soundtrack that follows, Sammy rolls his eyes, not a single song works.

[-]. The wailing of the editor

It may be a bit absolute to say that a song has never been used.

Sammy has always paid attention to the spirit of cooperation, not the kind of strong and authoritarian character.

So, when I saw the Kerry brothers busy and worrying about the soundtrack (blindly)...

He still tried to listen to those songs, thinking about making a few random ones and putting them in the movie, which could barely satisfy their eager desire to participate in the creation of the movie.

But some things just can't be done!

Some songs are indeed classic and pleasant, but they are not suitable for being placed in the movie; some songs may be suitable for being put in the movie, but in a certain way, they are a bit overwhelming.It's like, Hello band has a concert.In order to cheer them on, you pulled seven or eight bands to be guests at one go.

Ok, here comes the problem.

Who is the audience listening to?

For various reasons, Sammy simply stopped talking nonsense.

He told the Kerry brothers bluntly: "I have already thought about all the soundtracks in this film. Most of them are originals by the band Hello, and I have bought a few of them through contacts. Unless you fire me, you must follow what I say. "

This kind of shameless behavior embarrasses the Kerry brothers.

Moreover, those songs that have been bought back with great effort are tantamount to wasted.

But they didn't want to tear themselves apart with Sammy, so they had to hold back their anger and wait to see if "Say Hello to the World" was actually screened, whether it was a loss or a profit?

Sammy didn't know anything about the small minds of the Kerry brothers.

However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't take it to heart.

However, the tossing behavior of the Kerry brothers still made him very disgusted and annoyed.

For this reason, he secretly complained to Mike Long: "If you can't help, don't meddle! Brother Kerry's aesthetics is really worrying. They actually invited songs in the name of our movie, saying that they would definitely use it. In the movie, hell! The other day, a friend of mine came to me and asked me what kind of movie I could make that required so many pop hits in different styles! It sounds like It's like some kind of country nouveau riche's behavior, I can't answer it. My God, I'm ashamed! Why can't I even think about working with them? What a bad luck!"

Mikel laughed.

He thought that Sammy's expression when he disliked the Kerry brothers was extremely funny, with a small round face wrinkled, waving his hands from time to time, and curling his mouth, it looked very funny.

However, in this case...

Should I give some comfort?

While thinking about the consistent behavior patterns of human beings, Mai Qilong said gently in a soft voice that is inversely proportional to the tallness of human beings because he is still a juvenile dragon and has not had a voice change period: "Not everyone is like you. So powerful."

Sammy is very happy.

But he tried his best to restrain himself from showing his happiness too obviously, so as not to look like he was very proud after being praised for a few words.But it is very comfortable to be praised, and Mikey's attitude is always so sincere.In the end, he still couldn't hold back and said: "I didn't expect that you are the most discerning person around me!"

Mikey laughed, looking embarrassed.

While he was crazy and proud in his heart, "Of course, the human being I chose must be the best", at the same time he put his head on Sammy's shoulder from behind very naturally, and stretched out his hand to lift Sammy's fleshy body. The little short hand played with his fingers one by one, and continued to say in a soft voice that has not changed his voice: "I also feel that I am special, and I must have a good eye. The Internet is so big, but I handed it over to you right away." Such a good friend! Sammy, do you know? I am the happiest man (dragon) in the whole world."

Sammy was praised so much that he was so vain that if he had a tail, it would be up to the sky.

Then, he also wanted to reciprocate Kwamaki.

But the problem is that not everyone's mouth can be as sweet as a certain Charmander, as if smeared with honey.

As a straightforward dragon slaying warrior, Sammy thought about it for a long time, but couldn't hold back a good word, so he sent out a team invitation to express their deep friendship: "Mike, let's go to slay dragons together if we have a chance in the future! "

Michelon was not happy.

But now he is used to the bad behavior of his own human beings, so he didn't show anything immediately, pretending to be innocent, but deliberately hit him: "It's good, but the way you look now, Sami..."

The little Charmander looked at the height of a human with a small round face and a thin figure with no muscles.

Finally, he asked meaningfully: "Who can you beat?"

Sammy was furious!

He drew his hand back angrily, turned his head and pushed Mikey's big head away, punched him hard in the chest, kicked him again, and then raised a middle finger aggressively.

But for the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Michelon, those punches and kicks were simply tickling.

What's more, the human with a small round face and staring round eyes angrily raised a finger that was only about three-quarters of the length of his humanoid finger!

Ouch!

The round, light pink, well-manicured nails suddenly poked on the tip of the heart.

The underage Charmander couldn't take it anymore and covered his heart.

He thought extremely sweetly and exaggeratedly: "Dragon God, the humans I chose are so cute."

Next, Sammy continued to work hard on the post-production of the film while fighting with Mikey.

As for the Kerry brothers' little thought of "wanting to use famous singers to gain popularity for the movie", he still gave it serious consideration.

The soundtrack of the film is definitely going to use songs from the band Hello.

But finding a singer to support the scene, to show up or something, maybe... it's okay.

So, he quickly thought of a suitable candidate.

But at this time, in addition to the soundtrack problem, a new problem also appeared in the editing.

No one knows how things developed to this point...

Anyway it is:

The Kerry Brothers, who failed to get involved in the soundtrack, kept silent on the surface, but they were not reconciled in their hearts.

Big Kerry thought more deeply and had a little more patience, so he didn't react for a while; but Little Kerry was more detached and thought more.

So, one day, Little Kerry suddenly woke up from the bed, didn't want to get up, and lay in a daze.

He thought about it for a while, and unconsciously remembered the short plot in the film 'about making a documentary about the Hello band but not paying copyright fees'.

The other plots can only be said to be indirect allusions at any rate.

This episode is almost a literal, named name-calling.

But I didn't take it to heart.

The two brothers are still very cautious in this regard, and will not easily leave any legal loopholes. Therefore, when the Hello band agreed to act as a prototype to make a movie, they signed a contract.

Since there is a contract, no matter where it is said, no matter how it is said, they are not responsible.

Even, if something goes wrong, they have already thought about how to deal with it in advance. For example, they completely shifted the responsibility to the Hello band and said directly, "The small band wanted to promote it, give up the rights for free, and begged us to use them as a prototype." , otherwise we don't pick so many bands, why did we choose them?I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be popular again and ask for money'.

People who don't know the truth are easily fooled.

What's more, the Hello band is a small band, and there are few diehard fans, so there will not be many people who will help to speak up if they splash dirty water.

Therefore, neither of the Kerry brothers took Sammy's little tricks to heart.

So what if it was filmed in a movie?

The sentence 'purely fictitious' can be dealt with, the key is whether you can make money!

It should be like this.

But because of the soundtrack...

Little Kerry held back his breath, and suddenly wanted to find fault.

So, he used "No! I can't let such a film that damages our image be released" as an excuse, and ran to find an editor, wanting to intervene in the film editing work.

At that time, the editor of the crew was hired outside, and he was a master named Jason.

Apart from his excellent skills, the most commendable thing about this editor is that he knows how to communicate and cooperate with people, instead of being self-willed and arbitrary.

So, Sammy was very reassuring about him.

The two often discuss the plot progress of the film together, discussing how editing can make the rhythm more compact...

This kind of cooperation model of concerted efforts was once very beautiful.

But on this day, Kerry came over in a hurry and asked Jason, the editor, to delete a plot in the demo.

Sammy wasn't there.

Jason's most admirable point of "not self-willed, not arbitrary", has become a weakness instead.

Little Kerry threatened and ordered a little.

He obediently obeyed without any resistance.

As a result, Sammy found out about it in the afternoon.

He was so angry that he immediately asked Jason to add back the deleted plot, and then called Little Kerry: "Stay away from my movie!"

Little Kerry said kindly, "But that's my movie too, don't you think the plot is a little too much?"

"Not at all!" Sammy yelled over the phone.

But the next day, Kerry still found Jason unwillingly and asked him to delete the plot secretly.

Because of Little Kerry's behavior yesterday, Sammy, who was very worried about editing and went to check every day, immediately found out again, and immediately ordered Jason to add that plot into it.

Delete it, add it in!

Delete it, add it in!

Delete it, add it in...

Back and forth countless times!

It's been a super long tug of war.

One must delete that plot;

The other insisted on keeping that plot.

In the end, the two got mad at the editor together.

Little Kerry: [I am an investor, I order you to delete that plot. ]

Sammy: [I am the director of the movie, please don't delete it! ]

Poor editor Jason was completely crushed by the two.

He complained in pain and tears: "Enough! A good man cannot serve two masters! I resign!"
