Raising Dragons in Hollywood

The special effects of the black dragon that appeared at the beginning of the movie are already at the top level in the industry.

It flew swaggeringly in mid-air, accompanied by dark clouds and lightning, and its black ferocious wings covered the sky and the sun.

But a fake is a fake.

How can the fake compare with the real one?

If there is no real dragon for comparison, it still looks shocking.

But because the jade is in the front, when it appears in the movie, no matter how majestic it is, the first impression it gives people is that it is artificial.

In this way, how can Sammy be unhappy?

Bellman, who has always played the leading role of the exorcist, and a small number of fans who have watched the first movie have noticed the difference in the dragon.

But after all, it is across the big screen, and the fans' feelings are not so keen.

At most, they commented: "Why hasn't this dragon been shocked last time?" "The dragon seems less scary?" "Is it because I have seen it last time? I don't seem to be as excited as last time, Feeling nervous and excited."

As for Behrman, as the male protagonist who has gone through two crews, he has had many close contacts with the white cat teacher who played the female protagonist before.

He should have realized that Sammy's "The Exorcist Part [-]" crew is a bit weird, so even if he was ridiculed, he didn't argue. Instead, he responded politely: "There are indeed no claws. The special effects company’s technology is good.”

In this way, Sammy would not be able to laugh at people casually.

He coughed twice, said a little awkwardly, 'Well, watch the movie, continue watching the movie', and shrank back to his seat.

Mai Qilong took the opportunity to hold his hand, squeezed his fingers again, and hinted euphemistically: "Actually, at this time, just look at me."

Sammy recalled Mikey's dragon shape and the texture of those scales, and suddenly felt a little excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time, so he squeezed Mikey's hand and said, "We'll take a look when we get home."

Mikey smugly smug.

He's happy that humans like his dragon form, because he's also happy with his beautiful scales and burly dragon form.

The next step is to watch the movie carefully.

Disney did a great job with The Exorcist Part [-].

only……

Because of the change of director, the style and story have changed a lot.

For example, the heroine status of the white cat teacher was replaced.

It’s not that Disney wants to replace the cats, but because without Sammy and Mikey and their cover, Teacher White Cat doesn’t want to pretend to be an ordinary cat with no intelligence all day long, but also doesn’t want to be exposed in front of too many humans He wanted to show his special side of intelligence and wisdom, so he chose to quit the crew.

So the newly hired director had to find another white cat.

But he couldn’t make an ordinary white cat act like Mr. White Cat, or like a human being. For ordinary animals, making movies is against their nature. They will never stand still in front of the camera , In this way, the movie had to look for another heroine.

And without Sammy's endless stream of outlandish ideas, the movie would have been quite the order of the day.

Therefore, at the beginning of the movie, the person in charge of the hell department, that is, the black dragon boss who appeared in the first movie, suddenly called the hero one day, and then he used the method of helping the heroine to change from a human to a cat. Conditions, let the hero go to help find the treasure lost in hell.

The two sides negotiated fiercely, and signed the contract when the conditions were agreed.

The white cat was able to transform back into a human.

What follows is a series of adventure stories of the hero and heroine.

During this period, the plot was quite exciting, handsome men and beautiful women fought hand in hand, they went to the cemetery of the undead and awakened the corpses that had been sleeping for many years; they went to the ocean and were hunted down by ferocious sharks; Stepping into the maze of time, in the maze, an hour is a year, if you can't get out, you will die of old age in the maze in a few days at most...

Disney has a lot of money, hired a strong team of screenwriters, and invited many celebrities to play guest roles. The director is not ordinary, and the special effects company he hired...

Well, if you don't compare it with the first one, it is also a very powerful master.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for people to say that this movie is not good.

Even in the process of watching, the vast majority of people watched seriously, and from time to time they exclaimed for some thrilling shots.

But oddly enough...

When the movie ended, all the audience left the scene without any regrets.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the audience leaving the stage neatly.

It's just that when they just finished watching the movie, they didn't seem to be in the mood to discuss the movie, and they said to each other 'it's okay' and 'well, it's okay to watch'.

But what is it?

Is it good?Is it bad?

Regarding this situation, the members of the crew of "The Exorcist Part II" are a little confused.

However, in order to celebrate the success of the premiere, they still routinely throw a banquet.

Because many members of the crew have worked together in "The Exorcist Part [-]", and many Disney employees are also Sammy's former colleagues.

Whether these people are out of politeness or sincerely invite...

In short, it's hard to be generous.

Sammy, who wanted to leave after watching the movie, had to drag Mikey to the banquet.

at this banquet.

Bellman took the initiative to introduce Sammy to his successor, the director Vlad who filmed "The Exorcist Part II".

The director is a middle-aged man who is bald, and his level of directing movies should be a steady pass, but he has a little conceited personality.

Moreover, he doesn't want to believe that there are players like Sammy in the world. He often privately thinks that the so-called 'talented young director' is all hyped up by spending money. Therefore, when talking with Sammy Sometimes, there is a bit of reluctance in the tone, it feels like 'I don't want to know you, and I don't want to talk to you, but due to the situation, I can only know you and talk to you'.

Sammy didn't realize that the other party had this problem at first.

He simply felt that the filming of "The Exorcist Part II" was not bad.

Although the special effects of some dragons and monsters in the movie are not very good;

Although those adventure stories are a bit routine;

Although there are too many roles, the protagonist's role is scattered...

But there are still advantages.

For example, a few very beautiful shots, and the sense of rhythm from the beginning to the end...these are all worth learning.

Therefore, Sammy shook hands with the other party very politely, and mentioned the few favorite shots, wanting to discuss the shooting technique or something.

But the director Vlad was not interested in exchanging any shooting techniques, and asked directly: "Do you think I did a good job?"

Sami nodded: "Of course that's good."

Director Vlad asked again: "What about the first film you made?"

If Rossi, who is well-rounded and good at socializing, is there, he will probably change the topic cleverly, and if he can't, he will find a way to express his own strengths, and there is no way to compare them. In short, avoid conflicts and make enemies as much as possible.

But unfortunately...

Sammy doesn't have that skill.

He replied very honestly: "Of course I take better pictures, you can't compare."

Director Vlad's face turned green.

The atmosphere at that moment was almost embarrassing to a certain extent.

Behrman, who was standing on the side, had already begun to regret his unnecessary actions, so what's the point of introducing these two people? !

Next, he went out of his way to help lighten the mood.

This actor who has always been introverted and not very talkative must have worked very hard.

He kept interjecting and smoothing things over, trying to bring the topic back to the positive side.

But Director Vlad didn't appreciate it.

He left very rudely with a dead face as if someone owed him 800 million and would not pay it back.

Sammy paid no heed.

He likes to make friends with professional filmmakers, work together, chat, and share various skills, but he will not stick to them when he knows that the other party does not welcome him.

Next, nothing interesting happened at the banquet.

On the second day, the comments of "The Exorcist Part II" finally started to pour out intermittently.

On the whole, most of the reviews think that this movie is a normal Hollywood commercial blockbuster, you can watch it to pass the time!

But the implication is - no surprises, well-regulated, you won't regret watching it, and you won't regret it if you don't watch it.

Some film critics wrote on the Internet: [This movie is a well-made standardized fast food, in which the size, weight, seasoning ratio, etc. of the ingredients are all pre-set classic recipes and will never be changed.Therefore, it tastes good, but because I have eaten too much in the past few years and there is no innovation, so in the final analysis, the film is just an ordinary commercial film, which cannot stand the aftertaste and is slightly mediocre. ]

If you just analyze it here, it's actually nothing.

After all, no one can please everyone. There are people who like any movie, and naturally there are people who don't like it.

However, the film critic did not forget Sammy, the former director.

So, he continued to write: [In my opinion, director Sammy is definitely one of the most unique directors in Hollywood.It is also a commercial blockbuster on the Hollywood assembly line, but director Ke Sami can shoot new ideas every time, and has a very personal style, which is highly recognizable! ]

[Everyone can think about the first part of The Exorcist. The overall style of the film at that time was not as serious as the second part, but very smart, active, and real. Those interesting little details emerged endlessly, similar to the white cat heroine and the storage of heaven. There is no need to deliberately search for such a laughable point of the pool's world-killing weapon, it is just around the corner. ]

[From these aspects, the level of the first part of "The Exorcist" is definitely far higher than that of the second part. ]

[I really don't understand why Disney changed directors. ]

[By the way, there are special effects. ]

[Compared to the shocking special effects of the first film, the special effects of the second film can only be called acceptable, not bad but good!What the hell is Disney doing? ]

Director Vlad was not convinced.

He didn't think there was any need for those 'childish plots' at all, and it was a bit too mysterious to talk about his personal style.

Finally thinking about it...

Still, the problem of special effects is more specific and the easiest to solve.

Vlad decided to inquire about the claw root special effects company to facilitate future cooperation.

After all, unlike Sammy, who doesn't like to make sequels, this director wants to continue with the third part of "The Exorcist"!
