Raising Dragons in Hollywood

The dragon clan is extraordinary.

The entertainment media really loves the ambassador of Clawroot!

The next day, Black Dragon Deen hit the headlines.

Although the official news media has been trying to explain that 'Mr. Deen was unintentional, this is just a misunderstanding caused by the different customs and habits of dragons and people', most people still think that the black dragon did it on purpose.

Some people think that the dragon is pretending to be peaceful, but it is actually declaring war on mankind;

There are also some people who think that dragons have poor self-control, and they will eat something delicious when they see it. What if one day they see humans also have a big appetite, what should they do?

In short, at that time, there was a lot to say, and if you open newspapers, magazines, and web pages, you can see a lot of news about dragons.

But in fact, most of them are fake news to join in the fun. For the dragons with a long life, there are very few exotic flowers like Mikey who are willing to live in the human country. So, stay with all your property, it is best not to go out for hundreds of years, so it is very difficult for human beings to really get news about the Dragon Clan.

This has resulted in a unilateral media carnival.

But in fact, there is no dilemma of dragon cooperation.

Heilong Deen made a mess and ran away shamelessly.

He has been in the human kingdom for many years, and he is very good at how to hide himself, so no one can find him.

Naturally, Mikey and Sammy are also inevitably partly harassed.

But the two of them were public figures before and had some experience in dealing with it.

What's more, Mai Qi is not the protagonist of "eating pigeons", and he always maintains the original human form, and he can't see the appearance of a dragon at all, which makes the paparazzi report and report. In fact, it's a dragon', reporting that 'Maggie and Sami are confirmed to be lovers' is more likely to increase the sales of newspapers and magazines and the click-through rate of websites.

However, the relationship between the two...

If it used to be a same-sex romantic love of Hollywood directors and actors, it has now become a cross-species fantasy love affair between humans and dragons.

But in any case, compared to the seemingly serious discussion of whether humans and dragons should go to war, there is actually no sign of it at all.

People still prefer to see love gossip like Sammy and Mikey.

Meanwhile, Sammy gets a job offer.

The invitation came from the US government, wanting him to make some films about dragons.

Their general idea is to make an easy-to-understand, entertaining and educational popular science film to introduce dragons to curious people, and at the same time, curb the "dragon threat theory" in society.

After all, high-level human beings have known about the existence of dragons for a long time. They also know that those lazy dragons have not moved their nests for 800 years. There is no need to fight with them (not necessarily winning), so I don't want to create misunderstandings between humans and dragons.

In fact, if the dragons hadn't accidentally exposed it, they wouldn't even want the general public to know about it.

Sleeping Dragon Do Not Disturb!

Sammy, who has changed his career to become a dragon scientist, is very interested in this project.

He had a serious discussion with the person in charge of the government, whether to make a TV program and broadcast it one by one; or simply make a cartoon to cartoonize the dragons (easy to be accepted by humans); or make a TV show. A serious BBC documentary.

But at the end of the discussion, neither side was satisfied.

Later, when the staff of the government didn’t talk about business, when they chatted together, they suddenly mentioned an animated short film of Sami’s early years——“Who Killed the Dragon”.

One of the staff members put on a pose of a brainless fan, and excitedly pulled out ten movie tickets for "Happy Life" from his wallet on the spot (because the animated short "Who Killed the Dragon" was It was in theaters as a giveaway of Happy Life, just a short opening scene) and got Sammy to sign it for him.

Sammy still finds this behavior silly.

But now he will not be as outspoken as before. After expressing his gratitude politely, he began to sign seriously.

Halfway through signing...

He suddenly remembered: "I had an idea about dragons a few years ago that seemed to fit."

That idea was about soul swapping.

It's about the exchange of souls between humans and dragons...

At the time, Sammy was still working in Disney's creative R&D department, submitting a few ideas every week, but never being selected.

During that time, he was hit hard. No matter how much he drew, the reply he got was: "Sammy, you draw very well, but we want XX more, because XX's creativity is more popular with children."

So, what do kids really like?

How cute is the rabbit?Is the kitty meowing?

Sammy is frustrated and wants to change.

But changing oneself is a difficult thing. Anything princess style or cute style is really not suitable for him. Drawing and painting can really drive people crazy.

Finally one day, Sami realized: "Fuck him, I don't care if you choose me or not, I just want to draw my dragon."

So, he stepped into the peak period of creation and intensified his efforts to create various stories about dragons.

For example, the animated short film "Who Killed the Dragon" is actually a product of this period, but it was relatively lucky to be produced.

And its less fortunate brothers and sisters are left to sit on shelves in Disney's archives, out of sight.

"Anyway, Disney doesn't want it, so I'll take it and change it, so it just works this time?"

Thinking of this, Sami was a little moved: "This is not in vain for me to think and draw so hard."

But what I didn't expect was that as soon as he was planning to start shooting, Disney quickly sent someone to rush over.

It was Mr. Norris, Sammy’s former immediate boss, who made a trip in person and reminded with a smile: “Sammy, have you forgotten? Employees in the creative research and development department, the copyrights of the ideas submitted during work belong to the company. If you If you want to shoot, you have to get Disney's permission."

Sammy pretended to be innocent.

He also tried to pretend that there was no such thing at all, and asked with a puzzled look: "What idea? You mean this new one I came up with this year?"

"Whether it's a new idea this year, you know it in your heart."

Mr. Norris smiled: "Come on, Disney just wants a cooperation opportunity, and has no plans to go to court to sue you for infringement."

This is good.

To avoid conflicts, there is an additional powerful partner, and Sammy can't think of a reason to refuse.

Not to mention, it's pretty exciting.

Watching Disney laboriously dug out the garbage that was not worth looking at back then from the underground archives, carefully put it away as a treasure, and actively ran to him for cooperation. Very cool thing!

A few years ago, didn't you look down upon it?

Not asking for cooperation yet!

Sammy felt a little smug.

In addition to this job that made him proud, there was also an invitation for him and Mikey from a TV station.

The film crew of that TV station wanted to make a variety show about people and dragons living in harmony and living in harmony.

But Sammy wasn't interested in being 'surrounded by multiple cameras recording everyday life throughout the day'.

However, the reasons given by the film crew are quite convincing.

They patiently presented the facts to Sami and reasoned: "Since dragons became real, everyone has been full of curiosity about them. Instead of letting them explore desperately on their own and rush to interfere with your life every day, it's better to let them The way of publicity is in your own hands, and you can provide everyone with what you can see in advance, satisfying your curiosity and reducing trouble for yourself."

It seems reasonable to say so.

But Sammy still asked Mikey patiently first: "Do you want to participate in this kind of program? You don't have to participate if you don't want to participate."

In order to prevent a certain underage Charmander from being confused.

Sammy still seriously explained the possible consequences of this show: "Everyone in front of the TV will see us..."

Mikey was excited: "See us together?"

Sammy froze for a moment: "Yes, but..."

"Participate, must participate!"

Mikey said innocently and happily: "I want everyone to know that you are with me!"
