Raising Dragons in Hollywood

Mikey was very satisfied with Sammy's statement "I made a movie just to amuse Mikey" in the interview.

He was secretly proud in his heart: "My human beings love me so much! At first they pretended not to want me to play the leading role, but how is it now? You slipped the tongue! It was just to tease me at the beginning, oh, human beings The duplicity is also so cute."

So, during that time...

Mai Qi chased the white cat every day and shouted: "Teacher, teacher, help me find a way."

I have nothing to do all day long, and from time to time he also plays a role in the movie, earning enough money to buy canned food, the white cat teacher stands on the edge of the table, enjoying the thrill of being on a high place, while posing an experienced A calm look with strong winds and waves, experienced and seasoned.

Then, it licked its paws again and again, squinted at the corner of its eyes and meowed twice, meaning 'what's the matter, what do I want to do'?

Mikey asked, "Do you know how to get Sammy to sleep with me?"

Teacher Baimao was so startled by such a shameless question that he almost fell off the table, thinking he heard it wrong: "Excuse me, can you say it again?"

Mikey asked again.

The white cat teacher, who has always been super confident, finally encountered a problem. It felt that he probably couldn't help him in this regard.

But this juvenile charmander seemed to be staring at it trustingly, as if 'it believed everything it said', which really made the cat couldn't help but say that it couldn't do it.

"Would you mind going into more detail?"

Teacher Baimao swears that this is definitely not out of some kind of gossip mentality, but because he wants to understand the cause and effect of the matter before he can conduct a specific, reasonable and scientific analysis.

The time that Mai Qilong lived in the human country is not too long, and he has not been infected with the bad habit of being not honest in everything and talking around.

So, when he heard Teacher Baimao’s question, he immediately talked a lot of BlaBlaBla, focusing on the fact that Sami fell in love with him at first sight, fell in love with him at first sight, and proposed marriage at the third sight (Sami:?), and showed off by the way (accidentally The promise ring (the ring of the night knight) that was burned black by myself, and finally concluded that they are a pair in the sky and a pair in the earth, not to mention how good they are.

Teacher Bai Mao's eyes turned round and round when he heard this, and he really didn't know whether the dragon was here for consultation to find answers, or to abuse single cats.

It didn't get the point at all, but didn't want to show timidity, so it meowed a few times calmly: "Since you have such a good relationship! Since he likes you so much! Why are you asking me?"

Mikey let out a long sigh, lost in thought.

Then, he asked Mr. White Cat a question: "If you met a cat you liked, what would you do?"

Teacher Baimao replied uninspired: "... give it dried fish?"

Mikey rolled his eyes: "What else?"

Teacher White Cat thought: "...Catch mice for it?"

Mikey: "Anything else?"

The white cat teacher racked his brains: "Lick its fur, bury its shit together, cuddle it to sleep, fight other male cats because of it?"

Mikey started thinking about changing teachers.

"Come on, you're asking the wrong question."

Teacher Baimao hurriedly explained: "You like humans, not cats, so the way we get along with cats doesn't suit you at all."

This makes sense.

Mikey reorganized his thoughts: "It's actually like this. I'm sure that Sammy loves me so much. We kissed and hugged each other. Later, we talked about getting married and living together forever, and then... "

Teacher Baimao asked enthusiastically, "Then?"

Mikey replied: "That's the problem, there's no more! At the beginning, I didn't understand the operation mode of human physiology. After all, I was a dragon and I was not yet an adult. I didn't think much about reproduction. But recently I searched online and found out that humans are different from dragons, humans are in the breeding season 24 hours a day."

Teacher Baimao couldn't help but licked his paw, and sighed: "That's right, human beings' ability in this aspect is quite terrifying."

"But that would be weird."

Mai Qilong fell into deep distress: "Since Sammy is breeding every day, why doesn't he ask me to solve it?"

"Maybe he has someone else out there..."

Teacher Baimao said rather irresponsibly.

"impossible!"

Mai Qilong vowed: "I am with Sammy every day, and there is no way he has other people, or other dragons."

"Then... maybe he can't."

"It's impossible. I secretly read his physical examination form this year. He is very healthy."

"Could it be..."

Teacher Baimao had to consider the worst possible outcome: "Don't he love you?"

"Nonsense, he loves me so much!"

Mikey immediately retorted: "He gave me a ring, kept the gifts I gave him on the bedside, and wrote me love songs..."

"What? Write you a love song?"

As a single cat, Mr. White Cat is deeply stimulated.

"correct."

Mikey sang: "Who is it? Who is it? The tail is big and long, the limbs are thick and strong, the fangs are sharp and bright..."

Teacher Baimao couldn't help feeling sick: "It sounds really disgusting to cats... I mean, I'm envious."

Mikey Dragon said triumphantly: "After all, Sammy loves me so much."

"Okay, let's find another reason."

Teacher White Cat had no choice but to say so.

But all the possibilities were denied by Michelon, and I really couldn't think of any reasonable reason.

It can only guess: "Maybe Sammy is slow or shy by nature, and you have never been aware of this because of your young age. Therefore, no one (Dragon) between you two has ever taken the initiative to do something to break the barrier. .If that's the case... Next, I think, you should try to give him a little hint."

"hint?"

Mai Qilong humbly asked for advice: "How to imply?"

Teacher Baimao thought for a while and lay down on his side first.

Then, it shook its fur to make it more fluffy and soft. Then, stretching its soft body, it stretched out a big fluffy paw, posing in a very lazy and charming pose, a big cat The eyes are still very innocent and pure looking over: "Is this so?"

Mai Qi couldn't understand it at all, so he wondered: "Where is this initiative? The imitation of claw stretching last time was useless, so it looks even more unreliable."

So, he asked impatiently: "Do you have any other good ideas? It's about this time, come up with the best idea, don't hide it."

Teacher Bai Mao has been pure-hearted and ascetic for many years, so there is no best way.

But finally there was a (stupid) student who trusted him so much, and he really didn't want to destroy his great image of being omnipotent. So, with an idea, he retracted his big fluffy paws, squatted upright, and then, He stared at the little charmander with a serious face.

I have to say that the serious look of the cat is still very bluffing.

Mikey took two steps back subconsciously, and asked cautiously, "What do you want to say?"

Teacher Baimao showed an exaggerated expression of sacrificing his life for righteousness: "I do have a better way, but I have been an upright cat all my life, and this way is a bit immoral... But after all, it is a teacher-student relationship. If you don't care, I will I feel sorry for it; alas, but if I manage you, this matter will violate my principle of being a cat."

Mikey couldn't figure out what else it takes to be a cat.

So, he laughed heartlessly, and said a very unconscionable sarcastic remark: "Aren't principles just for breaking?"

The white cat teacher sighed: "This student is teaching for nothing."

But since they all opened their mouths, it still agreed to help, and said furtively: "I'll go to the human-faced octopus for some medicine in a while. Their family knows it, and they even have medicine to turn mermaids into humans. Wait." When you come back, you can feed it to Sammy."

What the hell!

Michelon was stunned: "Drugging... so good! Uh, I mean, so immoral?"

Teacher Bai Mao raised his paw displeased, and pinched the beard on his lips: "That's not worth it."

Mai Qilong rubbed his hands: "How can I live up to the painstaking efforts of the teacher?"

He actually dumped the blame on the teacher!

Teacher Baimao couldn't help rolling his eyes again, and looked at the student who made Mao feel disgusted, and even had a terrible impression of the Dragon Clan.

On the other hand, it is different from Mai Qilong who is so leisurely and can think wildly all day long.

Sammy has been following the Kerry brothers for some boring but necessary socializing.

The Kerry brothers are not in a hurry to ask 'can they make money' this time, but they have another goal - to get this movie an award.

However, if the film festival wins an award and releases it, it will undoubtedly attract more attention to the film. From this perspective, it may be for money.

But in any case, the plan has to be carried out step by step.

In order to achieve this goal, Sami had no choice but to accompany them to visit the reviewers, promote his films, and attend some pretentious banquets from time to time, and show the films over and over again at the banquets. Many people in the industry speak for the film, thereby expanding its popularity.

These are the underlying rules of the game in Hollywood.

Sammy is not sociable, and most of the time he doesn't care whether the movie can make money. He still doesn't like the shallowness and snobbery of the Kerry brothers. Normally, he is too lazy to participate in such occasions.

But his long-time friend Rosie said something like this this time: "You have to have a bit of a work ethic, Sammy. No matter how annoying the Kerry brothers are, they have invested a lot of money, and we use the money to do things. Some must insist Matters of principle must be adhered to, but there are some irrelevant places, there is no need to insist on it, and occasionally you should give face and cooperate with work."

This makes sense.

Moreover, Sammy trusted Rossi very much, so this matter was settled.

The process is actually not that pleasant.

It feels a bit like the sales industry.

Maybe some people are very good at selling things, but Sammy is obviously not so good.

He often takes the movie to the screening, and after the show is over, he starts to stand in a daze.

At that time, there was a famous Italian director named Pierre Paolo.

This director is over forty years old, but he still maintains a stylish figure, with thick and thick dark brown hair. Although he is not handsome and handsome in a place like Hollywood where handsome men and beautiful women gather, he is still quite attractive.

That day, Sammy followed the Kerry brothers to promote the movie, and stopped him when he went up, asking softly, "Would you like to watch "Love You Will Kill You"?"

Director Pierre Paul actually knows this young director who has been gaining momentum recently.

But he didn't intend to buy it: "I'm not free."

But having said that, this sentence can't be regarded as a conclusion at all.

Because most people who want to sell their films won't stop there, at least have to pester him for a few words.

Therefore, based on past experience, Director Paul has made up his mind that no matter what Sammy said, he will not agree.

But what I didn't expect was...

The young director just asked that sentence, and after he finished asking, he stood aside and went silent.When she raised her head to look at him, he also looked up at herself, and the two faced each other, staring blankly.

Director Pierre Paul immediately became interested.

He temporarily changed his mind: "I'm not free now, but I can do it at night."

Sammy immediately said, "Okay, then you can watch it tonight!"

Maybe he also felt that his attitude was perfunctory, so he added: "Don't worry, you won't regret it after reading it."

Pierre-Paul couldn't help laughing.

This kind of promotion has appeared several times.

And the magic is that the success rate of each sale is not low!

Brother Kerry was really dumbfounded.

The two of them were puzzled in private: "Why can Sami sell the movie without three sentences at all? We talked at length for two hours and threw out a lot of money, in exchange for a sentence of 'Put it over there. , watch when you have time'."

Obviously, they don't understand.

Filmmakers may often compromise with capital and the market for money, but from the bottom of their hearts, when they really deal with each other, they must still prefer to meet those colleagues who can understand each other with them, rather than ignorant and unreliable. A businessman who always wants to command blindly.

These efforts have not been in vain.

On the night of the award presentation, the Kerry brothers thought they had attracted enough judges, and the award was a sure thing.

So, when the host started to read the list of winners...

They were more excited than everyone else at the scene, and they also whispered excitedly: "Look! Best screenwriter, maybe we can get this, let's get off to a good start."

please!Before the host announces the winner, who dares to be so sure!

If not, how embarrassing?

Sammy was particularly embarrassed, thinking that the two brothers were really stupid.

He couldn't help leaning towards Mikey, trying to stay away from the brothers.

Michelon is still a little distracted at the moment.

He was preoccupied with what Mr. White Cat said, "We will take advantage of the award ceremony tonight", because "whether the award ceremony won or not, the hotel will be less chaotic, so it will be easier to start." So, even It is said that there may be gold trophies made of 24K gold.

At this time, the host announced the best screenwriter award.

Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with Sammy and the others.

Sammy was calm.

But the rest of the crew couldn't help showing a little disappointed expression.

However, the Kerry brothers became excited again: "Sammy, Sammy, best director! Here comes the best director! You may be the best director!"

——Who can guarantee this!

—Please shut up!

Sammy moved closer to Mikey.

He wanted to be as far away as possible from the two brothers.

At the same time, Mai Qilong noticed that humans were constantly approaching, and his heart was ups and downs for a while.

He imagined narcissistically: "Sami really loves me so much, he can't wait to get close to me on this kind of occasion..."

At this time, the best director was announced again!

I don't know if the Kerry brothers are a pair of bad stars.

Anyway...

The best director is not Sammy either!

okay!

It seems that this year's session is accompanied by running.

Thinking of this, Sammy breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was disappointed, he didn't take it to heart.

But the Kerry brothers began to discuss in whispers again: "Why not?" "Didn't the previous judges say the movie was good?" "Is it polite?" "It shouldn't be, everyone still said polite words ?”

Sammy was almost speechless.

These two are really funny, even if they get closer to the judges, in the judging, it is impossible for everyone to give awards just because of their good relationship!

The vast majority of the judges are superficially polite to people, making everyone think 'that's great, he's on my side'.

But when it's time for the review, it's not just what should be done!

At this time, the host began to read the list of winners of the Palme d'Or again.

The Kerry brothers were stunned for a moment, and called out in a low voice from the side: "Sammy, Sammy! We understand, you are going to win the Palme d'Or this time!"

Too shameful!

Sammy turned his head unbearably: "Shut up! I can't win the prize!"

However, at the same time, the host's voice sounded: "Winner - Sammy Griffin's "Loving You Will Kill You"!"

So, caught off guard!

The spotlight and the camera turned at the same time.

The appearance of Sammy turning his head and shouting appeared on the big screen so clearly.

Although he couldn't hear the sound, the close-up shots were so high-definition that many people could still see the mouth shape of what he said just now.

—Shut up, I can't win the prize?

This...is it a slap in the face?

For a while, the audience applauded and laughed again.

Sammy froze in place.

The host blinked and let out an anonymous exclamation of 'Wow'.

Then, he laughed and joked, "I'm sorry to disappoint you this time, Sammy."

then……

After Sammy walked onto the stage with a blank face, the first sentence was: "I hope this kind of disappointment can happen a few more times."

Everyone laughed again.

However, this result was a bit unexpected.

Before that, Sami always felt that Mikey had a higher success rate in winning the Best Actor than himself in winning the Palme d'Or, but he never expected that when he won the award, Mikey lost to an old man Play bone.

However, awards are sometimes a matter of luck.

What's more, Mai Qi, the dragon, doesn't seem to care much, and is currently in a state of distraction...

Sammy glanced over a few times, but couldn't care less about what to say.

He stood on the podium, and after saying what he just said, his mind was a little blank, mainly because it happened so suddenly. In the end, he had no choice but to thank a large group of people in a cliché, including Mikey, Rosie, and the Kerry brothers. , as well as a large number of crew members, even Teacher Bai Mao, and finally, parents and elder brothers.

After finishing speaking, there was no way to do other things, so the person was directly pulled backstage to hold the trophy for a photo.

Then, there is the press conference.

Then, congratulations, congratulations, all kinds of social interactions, you come and go politely.

By the way, there is also a celebration dinner.

This evening, limousines come and go, champagne and beautiful women can be seen everywhere.

After tossing and dizzying, it was already early morning.

Sammy couldn't take it anymore and planned to go back to the hotel room to sleep.

But as soon as he walked halfway, he was stopped by the white cat teacher who appeared out of nowhere and was elusive.

About ten minutes later, Mai Qilong, who was full of ghosts and anxiety in his heart, finally received the message from Mr. Baimao himself.

Teacher Baimao waved his paw confidently: "Everything is settled, you go directly to Sammy's room, I have already told him that... er, ready, you know, as long as you think...things can be done!"

Mai Qi was both guilty and excited, the whole dragon didn't know how to thank Mr. White Cat.

He vowed on the spot and said: "Don't worry, teacher! I will treat you well in the future! I have as many cans as you want!"

Teacher Baimao showed a look of relief on his fluffy face: "You are a good boy if you have this kind of heart."

Then, it sighed and reluctantly said goodbye: "Mike, you go now, I'm leaving now too! After all, this matter is really not doing well, and I have no face to stay, otherwise I really won't know how to face you..."

Michelon was reluctant to part.

Michelon was grateful.

But thinking that Sammy was still waiting for him in the room...

Long's heart flew, and he didn't care about Teacher Baimao at all!

He had no choice but to swear again, promising to buy the best canned cat food for Mr. White Cat.

Then, Long left the white cat teacher and rushed to Sammy's room impatiently.

Teacher Baimao watched the background of the students going away, his beard moved, and the corners of his lips drew a curved arc.

Next, it wagged its tail, stepped on four legs, and ran away quickly.

On the other side, Mai Qilong's mood at this moment is extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he is full of gratitude to Mr. White Cat, and at the same time, he is secretly excited about what is about to happen. On the other hand, he also knows that this behavior is not right, so he is very guilty and guilty. But after thinking about it, he especially wants to be able to be with humans Be more intimate, break the invisible barrier between one person and one dragon, so I am full of contradictions and entanglements.

Under such complicated emotions, the underage Charmander took a deep breath.

He summoned up his courage and chose to push open the door of Pandora.

But unexpectedly!

Inside the door, Sami was sitting on the bed, dressed neatly, holding the big dragon-slaying sword that he hadn't seen for a long time, and was staring at him with piercing eyes: "I heard that you are going to drug me?"

Mikey: ...

Teacher Baimao, who has already booked an Uber, is heading towards the airport, planning to go abroad for a while.

At this time, it had already got into the car, and the whole cat was sitting upright on the back seat of the car, looking solemnly at the rapidly receding scenery outside the car window, and said silently in his heart: "Student , the teacher will teach you the last class, committing crimes, no matter how big or small, and no matter what the reason, are absolutely unacceptable!"
