Raising Dragons in Hollywood

As the saying goes, people are not stupid to waste youth.

This statement could not be more suitable for Sammy Griffin, because he actually believes that there are dragons in the world.

"Don't just leave your child to your grandparents!"

When Sammy was in elementary school, Sammy’s mother, Mrs. Griffin, was very disappointed about this: “I’m so stupid, really! I knew that Sammy’s grandpa liked to tell the children the story of the warrior slaying the dragon over and over again. He also told Sami to obey his grandfather. Now it’s all right, this kid is clamoring every day to buy a big sword to save the princess by slaying the dragon..."

Grandpa and grandma don't take the blame: "We also told stories to Duke and Dunbar, and they didn't believe it!"

All in all, no matter whether it was nurtured by the elders, or Sami was born to be a fool.

Since he was a child, he has firmly believed that 'dragons are real' and he is 'the destined dragon slayer'.

Even, in order to find and slay dragons.

When Sami was 11 years old, he was still planning to run away from home with a bag on his back. Before going out, he said solemnly: "I must complete my mission and stop the evil dragon from harming the world."

Sammy's mother was dumbfounded holding the frying pan, not knowing why her youngest son was going crazy.

His father, George Griffin, was much calmer. He seriously expressed his understanding of Sammy's behavior, and pointed out that Sammy's luggage was a little rough. Then, he tried his best to prepare more luggage for the young dragon slayer. Luggage: "Bring more pumpkin pie, so as not to be hungry on the way, and some fruit juice and milk. Do you want chocolate and bread?"

Then, his two older brothers also came to join in the fun.

The eldest brother Duke said: "Bring the toys too, without plush bears and plush frogs, you should cry again at night."

The second brother Dunbar also said: "Water cups, building blocks, blankets, coats, and dinosaur encyclopedias."

In the end, the dragon slayer reluctantly gave up the operation because he had too much luggage to carry.

Alas, it is not easy to become a real dragon slaying warrior.

A few years later.

When Sammy was 16 years old, he was also at the age of first love, and he fell in love with a beautiful senior from the same school.

The senior is only two years older than him, she is tall and good-looking. Normally speaking, she looks down on a little boy like Sammy.

But the Griffin family is a big family. Although it is not a famous family, it is a typical example of living hard. Therefore, in Sammy's generation, the only brothers are Duke and Dunbar, but you have to count the messy cousins. , that's a total of eight.

What is the concept of having eight brothers?

Every time there is a collective mobilization, the momentum is huge, and a group of people are pulled out, which is very majestic, like a small gang.

The senior was confused by this false appearance, and when she was pursued by Sami, she agreed in a daze.

She then invited Sammy over to her house to play, with a hint of 'my parents aren't home'.

Sammy happily agreed.

Parents are not at home, lonely men and widows!

It would be nonsense to say that Sammy had no bad idea in mind.

But people are not beasts, even if they know what is going to happen next, they can't come up and do it directly, but step by step, so the senior sister suggested watching a movie.

And the movie chose a monster thriller.

Hey, do you understand what Senior Sister means?

To this day, Sami still remembers that day clearly, and also remembers the name of the movie "Dragon of Destruction".

A shoddy follow-up movie in the early years, the general content is that human beings kill and wake up the sleeping dragon. Then, the dragon slaughters humans everywhere and destroys the city. In the end, the protagonist warrior steps forward to kill the dragon.

The plot of this movie can basically be regarded as non-existent, and the acting skills of the actors are infinitely close to zero.

There is only one advantage - the dragon is made very realistic.

Therefore, when the roar of the dragon sounded, Sammy was completely unable to extricate himself.

He forgot everything, including the beautiful senior beside him, and stared fascinatedly at the evil dragon on the screen, watching it trample high-rise buildings into ruins with one paw, and slap hundreds of people with its wings Take a somersault and watch it spout flames, enveloping bustling New York in a blazing fire... Cool!

Two hours later, the senior who was originally wearing a sexy suspender dress put on a coat, walked over expressionlessly, and patted him on the shoulder: "Hello."

Still immersed in the fantasy of dragons, Sammy raised his head in a daze: "Ah, what's wrong?"

The senior sister said: "My parents are coming home from get off work soon, you should go."

Sammy: "Oh, good."

The next day, he ran over like a puppy to have fun with his senior sister.

The senior sister put her hands on her chest: "What are you doing?"

Sammy was excited: "Are your parents at home today? If not, continue watching movies together!"

Senior sister: "...Look at a P, get lost!"

then,

No then.

It would be nice if the dragon slaying warrior had a dragon!

What kind of girlfriend do you want?

Still, the dragon movie did have a huge influence on Sammy.

He felt that it was too difficult to find the real dragon when the dragon had disappeared for nearly a hundred years.Even if I want to find it, I'm afraid I have to go to some wild and inaccessible place, and if I want to go to this kind of place, I have to face my mother's tears, my father's disappointed eyes, and my brothers' nagging...

To this end, the sensible Sami had to make sacrifices.

Instead of going out to find and slay dragons, I shifted my energy to learning how to make videos, or movies, so as to entrust my dream in my heart-if I can't find a real dragon, I can create a fake dragon to play with myself!

At that time, Disney was working on a training program for dream boys and girls.

Sammy was lucky enough to get picked.From then on, the teacher taught a hundred ways to draw Snow White's dress on the top, and he carefully drew the dragon's scales sometimes as stars and sometimes as shields...

In short, everyone believes in fairy tales as a child.

But in the eyes of the Griffin family, little Sammy's 'childhood' was too long!He is 20 years old, and he is still living in a fairy tale. He believes in dragons, in friends, in the victory of justice over evil, and in the fact that there are many good people and few bad people.

It is precisely because of this character that when he decided to meet with strange netizens this time, no one was at ease.

A week later, when Sami drove to the airport to pick up people according to the agreed time, the second brother Dunbar ran over, opened the car door, and sat in the co-pilot: "I'll go with you."

Sammy didn't think it was necessary, but didn't object.

But at the airport, when the second brother Dunbar asked the strange netizen about his flight information, he felt even more speechless: "Why is it an international flight? I never heard you say that this netizen is an international friend? Which country is he from?"

"Didn't I say it? It's not important anyway." Sammy replied casually.

But under his brother's persistent questioning, he still took out his mobile phone, looked down the chat history: "Well, a small country that I have never heard of, called Zhagen country."

"what? What?"

Dunbar plucked his ears, very suspicious that the geography lessons he had taken before were all taken while asleep: "The Claw Root Country? Is there such a country on Earth?"

——Is there such a country on earth?

At the same time, the US immigration staff also held Mikey's passport and asked this sentence in doubt.

"Uh……"

In order to mix into the human kingdom, Mai Qi has already turned into an ugly (self-conceived) human form, and with the help of his mother's friend, a senior dragon, paid a full ten scales as a reward to complete the exit procedures. At a loss, he frowned and asked softly, "No? What should I do then?"

The staff came back to their senses immediately, and were a little embarrassed.

After all, it is really impolite to make a slip of the tongue and say in person that other people's countries don't exist.And what makes people feel even more uncomfortable is that the person in front of him is really handsome. He has unprecedented thick red hair as bright as a flame, and a handsome face like a god in Greek mythology. The height, the condescending gaze, not only has a noble temperament, but also seems to have a sense of majesty (in fact, it is a fake), which makes any slight faux pas seem a bit offensive in front of him.

The always strict staff member coughed dryly: "I, I'll check it out for you again."

He hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the computer screen again seriously. While typing on the keyboard, he struggled to search the system manually, and couldn't help muttering: "I'm really sorry, this is the first time I've heard of this country. Where is your country located? Africa? Could it be Africa? I heard that there are many small countries in Africa that I have never heard of... Hey, wait, I found it! There is actually a claw root country?"

When the immigration staff was amazed that 'the Claw Root Country really exists'...

On the other side, Sammy and his second brother Dunbar, who came to pick up the plane, were also struggling to find out.

It took a full half an hour before they saw the landing time of the flight marked 'Claw Root to the United States' and the information about which exit on a display screen in a corner.

"There really is a country called Clawroot." Dunbar couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Blue Star is so big, it's normal for some unknown small countries." Sami replied with a big heart.

"Okay." Dunbar didn't want to continue to entangle this boring geographical issue with his brother.

Instead, he asked matter-of-factly: "Do you know what that netizen of yours looks like? How can we find someone later? Should we write a sign in advance?"

"Wait, he left a message saying that he is recognizable and is red. I guess it means red hair? He also sent me a photo in advance."

As Sammy said, he picked up his mobile phone and continued to look through the emails in the mailbox: "I received it during the meeting yesterday, but I was too busy to read it in time. I remember that the title of the email seems to be Mikey... Yes, Mikey , Mikey's photo... Ah, I found it!"

Then, he smiled and clicked on the photo: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've met a netizen, let me see..."

Halfway through the speech, he stopped abruptly.

There was silence in the air.

Dunbar, who was waiting to hear the following, couldn't help but looked over in doubt, and babbled nonsense: "What's wrong? Is it ugly? You are wrong. You should not just look at beauty and ugliness when making friends, but you should confirm that they are really good-looking , not P’s, and make friends with him. So, it’s unreliable to make friends with netizens. Bring it, show me, how ugly is it?”

But when he moved his head closer and looked at the photos, he also fell silent.

A few seconds later, the second brother Dunbar laughed wildly: "Hahaha, Sammy! Admit it, you are just being tricked!"

He laughed until tears came out: "This is your netizen? Haha, this is the netizen you want to pick up!?"

I have to say, ignoring other issues, this photo is too in line with Sami's aesthetics.

A magnificent super-large dragon, as if taking a passport photo, standing in a lush forest, with two big wings folded behind it reservedly, its front paws on its chest, and its huge round eyes like light bulbs seem to be a little strange. Looking at the camera in embarrassment, a bloody mouth is wide open, revealing a row of ferocious white fangs. It seems to be smiling, but the expression is very... shy and timid!
