Raising Dragons in Hollywood
Chapter 74 Fate is Unpredictable
The movie "The Exorcist" ended on a strange note.
During the period, the producer's confusion was not mentioned; the actors were also in a daze, as if they were dreaming.
Before joining the crew, all members of the crew have signed a non-disclosure agreement, and it is strictly forbidden to discuss the affairs of the crew with the outside world, so as to avoid too much interference from the outside world.
But after the filming is over, this restriction is not so strict, and everyone can finally express their emotions about encountering strange things without spoilers, which can be regarded as indirectly helping the film to promote.
So, overnight.
There are many ghost stories on the Internet.
Behrman: [That white cat can speak human language, really. ]
Nali: [The octopus with a human face in the fish tank is alive!Live! ]
Crew photographer: [I really captured ghosts, and fairies! ]
Extras: [Trust us, there are dragons in the crew, a black dragon and a red dragon. ]
Look at these incomprehensible speeches.
Netizens unanimously showed motherly and tolerant smiles: [Funnyguys! ]
This proves once again that the truth is never believed.
Meanwhile, after this filming...
Sami finally found out that he had been tricked by the black dragon Dern.
Damn secrecy laws aren't that strict at all.
The oblivion potion that adds the mermaid's singing is even more nonsense.
According to the sea witch, that is, the human-faced octopus in the crew - the singing of the mermaid can indeed confuse the human mind, but you want to make the singing into a potion?Sorry, no business.
Obviously, the black dragon Deen was deliberately scaring people before.
The dragons are not afraid of revealing their identities at all, they just find it troublesome.
For a group of creatures who are lazy and homebound by nature and have been sleeping for decades...
They don't want to deal with humans, nor do they want to be disturbed by humans.
Therefore, it is naturally best if it can be hidden without being discovered;
But if they are discovered, they actually don't mind showing off their strong and beautiful bodies in front of humans.
That is to say...
There is no need to agree to Long's marriage proposal because of the secrecy law.
Sammy couldn't help staring at Mikey for a long time.
After Mai Qilong noticed it, he immediately grinned and gave him a smile that was as enthusiastic as a dog.
Eventually, Sammy decided to forget about it.
——This dragon has been locked with me, and no one can take it away.
In short, with the actors and staff speaking out on the Internet, "The Exorcist" has officially entered the publicity stage.
These all have fixed procedures. The biggest advantage of cooperating with a big company like Disney is that the division of labor and cooperation is clearer, and professionals will be responsible for everything.They are very good at disseminating news and creating momentum. They will specially arrange a reliable working team, hold meetings to summarize, formulate plans, and move forward step by step. Maybe they rarely see new ideas in the process, but they will definitely not Get things in order without any mistakes.
And this matter itself is not too difficult.
The movie adapted from the original novel already has a certain readership base, and the previous "director's involvement in the murder case" also made the movie popular, so the promotion has been smooth from the beginning.
However, when post-production, there is a funny thing.
While editing, the film's production schedule was delayed.
The editor of the crew showed all the samples and edited results to everyone over and over again.
Then, the producer started commenting: "Why didn't you put this in? This was a great shot." "Please, do you want to delete this too? God, there's more to it." "Don't give up on this one ! It’s too exciting!”
Sammy didn't notice the problem at first.
But he soon discovered: "Why every time I come... the film grows bigger and bigger like a malignant tumor?"
The producers were left speechless.
This is so funny.
You know, most crews don't give the director the final editing right because they are afraid of this.
Think about it, you have worked so hard to take a lot of beautiful shots, you like the ones you look at, and you don’t want to cut the other ones, and finally you try your best to combine these shots, but it’s obviously not worth the loss. Most of the final results can only be a hodgepodge.
Therefore, professional editors are needed to check.
A good editor can cut the film into correct works suitable for viewing in theaters after meeting the director's requirements and understanding the director's desire to express his thoughts and emotions.Although the director usually has a lot of opinions on this, over-commercialization, lower depth and so on...
But that's a problem for directors.
But this time, the producer actually did something like this!
The producers themselves don't want to take the director's job.
It's just that the crew is evil.
The funds are endless, and the shooting speed is so fast.
In this way, it is understandable that the final film is not good.
However, the finished film is so perfect that it would be a pity to cut out a single frame!
what's the problem?
Perhaps, this has hinted at how exciting this film is?
But in any case, for the sake of the progress of the film, Sammy had to put aside the messy producer and re-make it with the editor.
Next, continue to follow the planning schedule of the publicity team.
Sammy did three or four interviews with a cast of actors, and he also attended several charity galas and donated some of the money.Anyway, they show up frequently, giving them a good sense of presence.
Don't say it yet.
Although he often wears a non-mainstream hair color, he is not ugly, but a certain director with a round face and a photogenic weight of ten pounds has a rare wave of fans.
Sammy wasn't even paying attention.
Because besides the daily rancor against netizens and movie fans, he also always posts things that should be banned, such as bloody (so-and-so warrior slaying a dragon) and violence (boxing match), etc., which makes fans watch it every minute. Want to cancel.Therefore, the number of followers on his twitter is always changing. Maybe the fans just clicked on the follower and unfollowed it with regret in the next second.
Fortunately, he is just a director working behind the scenes and can ignore fans at will.
If this were replaced by Behrman and the others, it would be a big death.
However, I saw that the actors in the crew are trying to show their faces and show their presence recently...
Sammy suddenly thought of his own dragon's employment problem: "Mike, is your agent too inattentive? Why does it seem like I haven't seen her for a long time? Besides, after so many days, she doesn't even Haven't called you yet?"
Speaking of which,
He was still a little angry, and asked very dissatisfied: "What's the matter with this man? Does he have any opinions on you? How long have you been out of work?"
Oops!
Mai Qilong was stunned for two seconds before digging out the non-existent agent lady from the depths of his memory, and quickly remembered...because he was annoying, he used the deterrent power of the dragon clan to secretly threaten Miss Manager, that caused her to gradually ignore or even ignore her own situation.
'Damn it, Sammy knows he'll be angry, and maybe he'll think of me as a dragon that bullies humans. '
He didn't want to see the big dragon-slaying sword of the little round-faced human being again. Although it wouldn't hurt or kill the dragon, it still hurts to hit him.
So, he decided to make up a story now.
"Actually, it's not her fault..." The underage Fire Dragon explained to the manager lady with a conscience.
Then, he began to make up: "The main reason is that I always refuse the work and activities arranged by her, but I didn't refuse on purpose. I have difficulties. I really can't bear the pain to work. Sammy, you know Do dragons also have a developmental period?"
Sammy blinked curiously.
He immediately guessed with great interest: "Is it the same as the human development period?"
"It's kind of similar, but it's more troublesome than that."
"I don't have a mom around, so I've been suffering from growing pains," Mikey said in a wistful tone.
"What are growing pains? Are they hard?"
Sammy immediately asked worriedly: "Why didn't you say it before?"
"Because this kind of pain is actually not serious, it's just that the bones in the whole body are about to break, and I need to rest more..."
"Fuck, it's not serious if the bones are broken! And, no, you just said that you will suffer like this without your mother by your side."
"Yes." Mikey bit his lower lip, showing a hesitant expression, as if struggling to tell the truth.
But in fact, this damn "developmental pain" is purely made up by him now, so now he has to think hard to make it more perfect in the shortest time: "Mother has a strange spiritual power for children , The power of this kind of love can always soothe the pain of the young dragon's development, but since my mother passed away, no dragon loves me so much, so I can only bear it by myself."
God!
It sounds miserable.
No one cares no one loves the poor little ah.
Sammy was heartbroken.
He hurriedly asked: "Is there anything I can do? Do I have to be a mother? Actually, I... I don't know if I love you now, but I really don't want to see you suffering and suffering. It's the spirit The use of strength? Can I learn it? It would be great if it eased."
It's unbelievable!
This little round-faced human actually believed it!
Micky made an immediate push.
While blushing, he insisted on continuing to make up: "It's not difficult to learn. Generally, you need to hug me first, say 'Baby I love you' sincerely, and then kiss the forehead. Every morning, noon, and night. three times."
"Uh……"
Sammy was silent for two seconds, and said embarrassedly: "I, I can probably try."
One person and one dragon looked at each other shyly.
——Then...now?
- Now!
Michelon happily posed as a girl praying, and obediently closed his eyes.
Sammy took a deep breath, as devoutly as if facing a religious ceremony.
Then, he stepped on a small stool, opened his arms, first hugged his own dragon, and said softly, "Baby, I love you", and then kissed his forehead meticulously, being very serious throughout the process.
Mai Qilong almost passed out happily: "Sami, you must really love me, I don't feel hurt now."
What?Does it work so quickly?
Sammy was a little taken aback.
Then, he thought, 'Have I really fallen in love with dragons?', while being very happy: "It's great that I can help you."
A week later, the black dragon Deen was 'lucky' to watch this disgusting scene.
But when he wanted to vomit again...
Sami, a dragon scientist who is working on developing a new career, made a good suggestion to him out of academic discussion: "Have you considered sending a dragon to human society to learn some medical knowledge?"
"Medical knowledge? What does Longxue do?" Heilong Deen was puzzled.
Sami said very seriously: "Solve the pain of the baby dragon's development when the mother dragon is not around. If medicine is not good, you have to try the comfort of the parent dragon. It is best to formulate corresponding laws. I think this phenomenon is definitely not the only one. In Mai Qi’s case, even if the number of dragons is rare, it should be taken seriously and resolved, and these problems should not be ignored just because the dragons have strong physique, and let them bear it by themselves.”
The black dragon Deen was at a loss.
He asked in confusion, "What growth pains, what are you talking about?"
Sammy: ...
Slowly, slowly, Mikey slid to the door.
He thought sadly: "Fate is so unpredictable, can I only be Sami's baby for a week?"
During the period, the producer's confusion was not mentioned; the actors were also in a daze, as if they were dreaming.
