Raising Dragons in Hollywood
Chapter 22
[[-]] Let's face it together
On the day of the show, Director Jones called Sammy in advance: "Tonight, our show is about to air. Now, let me tell you something, kid."
He said seriously on the other end of the phone: "Ten years ago, the first show I came to Hollywood to shoot was a super bad show. At that time, everyone thought I was completely finished. But ten years later, those who thought I was There are many people who have left the circle. Only me, still in front of the director. Although in your opinion, I may look a little bit bad now. But, Sammy, I just want to tell You have the same reason, a temporary failure is nothing at all, even if the results of tonight's episode are not good, there is no need to be afraid and worry, you are still young."
Sammy: "Ugh, uh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Director Jones couldn't help but bewildered: "...What, what is this sound, what are you doing?"
Sammy: "ennnnn... ah, oh, I'm eating cupcakes that Mikey just baked, would you like to come over and try them?"
Several veins popped out on Director Jones' forehead: "I'm telling you about "The Adventures of Aaron"!"
"That's right, Adventures, but the filming is over!"
Sammy said on the other end of the phone in a heartless tone
"Asshole, aren't you worried at all?"
On the surface, he was paying attention to the hearts of young newcomers, but in fact he was the one who panicked. Director Jones couldn't help accusing him angrily.
"How could you not be worried?" Sami retorted in surprise.
But before Director Jones felt a little relieved, he added an explanation: "I'm sure I'm a little worried, but today! Today is the first time Mikey learned how to make cupcakes, the first time!"
Heck!
Can making a cake for the first time be more important than the first episode you directed?
At this time, Mikey's soft voice that didn't fit his appearance came from the other end of the phone: "Sami, this plate doesn't seem to be baked very well..."
——No stealing!We agreed, this time I will try it first.
——But this one is spoiled, so let me eat it.
——You said that every time, and ended up eating three plates.
—Because it's all burnt.
Listening to the naive and nonsensical quarrel between the two people on the other end of the phone.
Director Jones inexplicably had a sense of exhaustion that he was really old.
Moreover, he is really speechless!
On the big weekend, two big men stay at home, and the children play like a house, what kind of cupcakes are they doing?
Excuse me, are you two adults?
Are you weaned?
But for some reason, Director Jones didn't want to hang up the phone for a long time.
He listened blankly to the other end of the phone, the two of them were fighting like children, because the tension and apprehension caused by the uncertain future of the series subconsciously eased a little.
"...Uh, sorry, Director Jones."
Sammy finally ended the argument with Mikey, and started talking on the phone again: "But you should also have some confidence in us."
It is different from the seriousness when filming on the set.
At this moment, his tone was very lively and brisk in line with the current age, and with a smile that could not be concealed, he said with almost naive optimism: "Maybe we will turn defeat into victory! After all, we have already made Everything that can be done, everyone works so hard, and the hard work will always pay off.”
It's so easy to say!
Sure enough, they are young people.
Director Jones couldn't help but smiled wryly on the other end of the phone.
Didn't I be so foolish as myself many years ago to believe in the silly saying that "paying will pay off", but how can success be so easy?Hollywood has a large number of newcomers entering the scene every year, with ups and downs, and not a few become famous in the end.
This road is too difficult to walk.
It often takes a few years to consume all the courage of a person.
—Jones, why do you think you can still succeed?You'll have to thank God for one chance of success.
——People should have confidence, but they should not have blind confidence. Recognize yourself.
— I heard you gave up your seat to a newcomer?Is this a broken jar?
——Okay, give up!If this show is hopeless, because of my old love, please beg me, I can forcefully arrange a job for you in my crew.
Not everyone can afford to fail repeatedly.
People in Hollywood are sometimes like standing on a thin layer of ice, and under this layer of ice, countless sharks gather here and wait. When people accidentally fall from the pinnacle of success, they It will reveal its ferocious fangs, and without hesitation, it will rush forward and bite fiercely!
At this time, the intense fear and hopelessness that arises in the heart is almost uncontrollable.
It is like the most greedy swamp, which can quickly swallow all the hopes, lights and dreams in people's hearts, and eventually turn people into a puddle of mud that can no longer be lifted up.
Watching the episodes that I made with my own hands gradually decline...
The pressure that Director Jones suffered is actually unimaginable for ordinary people.
'I'm probably hopeless, and neither is this show. '
Just when he was habitually thinking more and more pessimistic...
"Director Jones!"
But the young rookie director shouted again on the phone: "Actually... I don't know if it will work this time."
Listening to this stammering voice,
Director Jones almost immediately imagined the troubled childish expression on Xiaoyuan's face.
'Finally know worry? '
He hummed in his heart to relieve his hatred, and carefully took the opportunity to sarcastically say: "Didn't you just have confidence?"
"Because I'm so happy to cooperate with you and everyone in the crew, and I feel that it's okay to fail."
The young rookie director couldn't hear the dissatisfied tone of the person on the phone, and said enthusiastically and sincerely: "Whether I succeed or fail, I will not regret it! Because I like this time spent with everyone. It's like giving birth to a new life together. Even if others don't like it in the end, I myself will never think the child is ugly."
Who the hell is giving birth to a new life with you!What a shabby metaphor!
Director Jones almost spit out all the water he was drinking.
But I have to say that such a messy phone call really saved him from the increasingly uncontrollable depression caused by multiple failures.
"Okay, let's watch it tonight." He said weakly, and hung up the phone.
But it didn't end there.
Around four or five o'clock, the doorbell of Director Jones' house rang.
The alcoholic director who is home alone doesn't even want to get up and answer the door.
But the doorbell rang so loudly that no one could pretend not to hear it, so he could only lazily get up, carry the wine bottle, staggered over, and opened the door without looking at it: "Is it annoying? ..."
"Why did you open the door? Are you deaf!" Sister Corinna interrupted him very dissatisfied.
She squeezed Director Jones away, walked into the room rebelliously, and yelled, "Oh my God, is this a pig's nest?"
"Hello, director!" The cameraman and the scene manager greeted each other with smiles.
They carried two bags of what seemed to be beer and snacks, and followed Sister Corinna into the house.
Next, the crew’s costumer, makeup artist, accountant (why did the accountant come?) and actors, including Jack who played Aaron, and Nali who played Aaron’s mother...
In short, such a bunch of people just appeared in front of the door.
When they entered the house, they immediately crowded Director Jones' house to the brim.
"What's going on? What's going on? What's going on here?"
Director Jones was at a loss.
At this time, Sammy appeared in front of him.
There was a bright smile on Xiaoyuan's face: "Because tonight's episode is airing, let's all have dinner together."
Who wants to have dinner with you! !
Why come to my house for dinner!
Director Jones was reluctant.
But half an hour later, the tables, chairs, pots and pans, and barbecue pits were all taken to the yard, and the air was filled with the aroma of beer and barbecue.
Sammy and the cameraman pulled Director Jones' projector and curtain into the yard, installed the speakers and so on, and made a simple open-air movie, and then patiently waited for them with everyone. episodes of .
If a person feels restless, apprehensive, anxious...
Then let's face it together!
Director Jones stood foolishly in the middle of the yard, just watching the once deserted home gradually become crowded and bustling, and suddenly found in astonishment that, starting from the failures several years ago, there was a lot in his heart. I don't know when the solid ice that appeared in the middle seems to have finally melted slowly, and there are bursts of warmth in my heart.
He took a deep breath gently, and finally walked to his crew in relief, blending in with his familiar colleagues and friends...
But at the next moment, he couldn't help shouting: "Stop it! Mikey, don't waste things! So the fire is to burn charcoal? Grill chicken wings on medium and small fires, and seafood on medium fires! Do you know how to make that fire? , if you don’t know it, let it go quickly, don’t make any trouble!”
Mikey looked at him with a strange expression.
He thought in his heart: [Hey!do you know?I am a majestic flaming dragon that is suspected by humans not to be on fire? ]
At this time, a burst of music suddenly sounded in the yard.
The "Aaron Adventures" that everyone has been waiting for has finally started to play.
Everyone in the crew, who had been familiar with the theme song for a long time, listened to it in unison, showing a look of surprise: "Hey, you listen? This song, this song... seems a little different?!"
"That's right, I changed it."
Sammy said casually, biting into a bunch of mushrooms.
This time, in order to match the overall plot of the fourth season, he made adjustments to the opening theme song after discussing with the staff responsible for the soundtrack.
The original melody with a gentle rhythm becomes alternately fast and slow. Although the same tune as before can still be heard, the melody is sometimes active to a certain extent, and sometimes moves forward slowly step by step, thus creating a kind of rhythm that fits the plot. , unpredictable mysterious atmosphere.
Are you too hardworking?
Everyone in the crew looked at him in surprise.
At the same time, some old viewers of "The Adventures of Aaron" also noticed this change.
Listening to the theme song, which is obviously familiar but a bit unfamiliar, they thought a little curiously: "Is this still the "Adventures of Young Aaron" we know??"
Probably not!
Because, along with the theme song, the new title clearly appeared on the screen - The Adventures of 'Strong Man' Aaron!
At the same time, a close-up shot of the protagonist Aaron immediately appeared.
For the sake of the word "juvenile", the operation of "deliberately looking for various angles during shooting, and even asking the actors to pretend to be tender, so that the protagonist can be filmed small" disappeared.
Aaron, who got up early in the morning for a morning jog, showed off his chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and thigh muscles to his heart's content on the screen...
The first reaction of the former old viewers was: Damn it!What exactly has this child been through?
But the next moment, they recalled the title of "The Adventures of Aaron the Brawny", and burst into laughter uncontrollably: Appropriate!It's true!
Is this because the development is too fast and forced to change the name of the series?
Just in the first few minutes, all the old audience laughed until their stomach hurts.
Many people are attracted by the exaggerated laughter of the people around them, and they are super curious to know what kind of joke is going on?
And because I had nothing to do on the weekend, I simply sat down and watched this TV series with my friends and family.
[[-]] Human meets non-human
At this time, the broadcast of "Aaron's Adventures" is already the fifth episode of the fourth season.
On the one hand, because the fourth season has been off the air for a long time, die-hard old viewers may not be able to clearly remember the plot content of the previous episodes; Also eager to develop more new audiences, so as to increase the ratings of this series.
Therefore, at the beginning of the film, although he deliberately edited a few clips as a brief synopsis, he didn't bother to add more plots in advance.
So, in the middle of Aaron's morning run, he met an enthusiastic local who lived nearby.
The two chatted casually for a while.
--how is everything?Are you used to it?The countryside is not as convenient as the city, so if you need help, just ask.
——Hehe, what a great stay!
Accompanied by Aaron's obviously unhappy answer.
The pre-love clips edited by Sammy took the opportunity to pass quickly, including the scene of Aaron's family first arriving at the villa, as well as some strange things that happened in the villa, such as the sound of walking in the middle of the night, the creaking sound of the door opening, squatting on the window sill The black cat on the sky, the candy that disappeared...
In this way, old audiences can use this to recall the strange things that happened in the villa; new audiences can also know that the problem lies in this villa.
According to the original script of the fourth season of "The Adventures of Aaron", the following plot should continue to revolve around the actions of the Aaron family, dig out the secrets of the villa, find the reason for the strange occurrence, and finally end with defeating the villa ghost of the boss of the whole show .
But after the broadcast of this plot mode, it was proved that it was not good.
At that time, after watching the first few episodes, many viewers didn't have any curiosity and deciphering thoughts at all.
The feedback they gave was 'mysterious and boring';
And 'I just want to watch something relaxing and happy on weekends and holidays, and I don't want to watch such bitter and bitter stuff'.
So……
Sammy boldly changed the whole plot.
The changes in the roles of Aaron's family are less obvious.
They are still trying to dig out the secrets of this villa, and at the same time find the reason for the appearance of those monsters.But in the process of digging and searching, some more intense disputes have been added.
Long-time viewers will be very surprised to see that Aaron, the main character who has been well-behaved in the first three seasons, shows a rebellious side in this season.
He began to have constant quarrels with his parents, sometimes because of homework in school, sometimes because of the way things were done, and sometimes it might just be an unintentional remark...
But these quarrels are very simple. For example, whether to eat more cabbage is a childish question. There is no right or wrong at all, but the two sides have different ideas.
But the frequent quarrels over trivial matters still made the Aaron family more and more silent, and even the interesting exploration process became lifeless.
In these scenes, Sammy deliberately played the lighting very darkly, and the soundtrack was also quiet and gloomy, like the dark waves under the calm sea, symbolizing the difficult-to-reconcile family conflicts.
Director Jones and the writers were a little hesitant to do this at first.
Because they are not sure whether creating conflicts in the protagonist's family, which has always been harmonious, will arouse dissatisfaction among the audience.
But under Sami's persistence and repeated persuasion, and there was really no better idea at the time, the filming was finally made.
Good results.
From the very beginning, The Adventures of Aaron was launched as a family drama.
This also means that its audience itself is based on families, and they also watch movies collectively on weekends from time to time.
Therefore, after seeing the plot here, whether it is a new audience in front of the TV or an old audience, they have mixed feelings.
So familiar!
Isn't this exactly what happened to me?All kinds of trivial dissatisfaction in life accumulate more and more...
Obviously, if such a plot is set up, if it is another type of TV series, it may be annoying.
But in its audience, it is extremely resonant.
Moreover, during the filming process, the questions raised by Sammy were not big ones, and the angles they took were very neutral. They neither said that Aaron was wrong, nor that their parents were wrong, and only let the audience judge for themselves.
As a result, different audiences often have different ideas when watching the same scene. For example, young people understand the pain of Aaron being controlled by his parents, but adults understand Aaron's parents' painstaking efforts to intervene in everything.
For a while, many viewers even started arguing about who was right and who was wrong in front of the screen.
But Sammy didn't want to give them even a minute to argue.
Because, this drama is not a bloody family problem drama, but a fantasy adventure comedy.
So, here comes the point.
When night came, the Aaron family once again quarreled over trivial matters, and angrily went back to each house to rest and sleep... The villa woke up!
The portrait on the wall stretched out its arms, holding the picture frame and looking around;
The stone statue in the corridor took a step and started to walk one by one;
The ghost wanders about lightly without touching the ground;
The black cat squatting on the window sill meowed twice, and suddenly complained: "I don't want to lose weight, human beings will grow up too, look at that kid, he was still a kid when he first came here, But how strong it is now. So, the cat is not fat, the cat has just grown."
No one had time to pay attention to the cat.
All the non-human beings in the villa took advantage of the dead of night and began to take advantage of the time to carry out free activities.
They are familiar with their bodies, talk to their neighbors from time to time, exchange information about each other, and help each other solve some small troubles...
For example, amidst the scream of the vase, the walking stone statue slowly moved over, pushing it in to ensure safety.
This scene was shot by Sami full of wit and wit.
Under the soft moonlight, all kinds of non-humans are busy.
Stretching out his arms with difficulty, trying to wipe the picture frame of the cleanliness portrait for himself, his whole body leaned out on the picture frame, looking trembling and about to crumble, but he persisted in wiping the dust off the edge of the picture frame with his fingers;
The walking posture of the stone statue is as clumsy as a young child, moving every step, but from the mouth of the vase, it is known that it has learned to walk for less than a week;
The ghost seems to have lost its memory, and occasionally said a few words but it seemed fragmented, what' I'm looking for, it's the nature of human beings to look for it, to look for it during life and after death...but what am I looking for? '
His tone was empty, dangling around, his whole body was empty and light, as if a gust of wind could blow it away;
The black cat babbled endlessly, repeating 'I'm not fat, I'm just growing up' on the windowsill.
In addition, some toys in the window have also come to life.
A small children's train made two whimpers, and started to move by itself; a Superman doll walked around on the ground, thinking in confusion, "I'm Superman, why can't I fly";
The music box played Fur Elise on its own; the small goldfish in the fish tank opened its eyes wide, and accompanied by the music, it danced lightly in the water, wagging its tail lightly.
At this moment, the bright moonlight streamed in like mercury, silently illuminating the whole room.
More and more non-human beings wake up under the moonlight and happily join this night party... They seem so happy, free and carefree, without any troubles, without any sadness and anger, They are friendly and harmonious with each other, with occasional quarrels, but no real disputes at all.
The camera pans little by little, bringing every non-human character to life.
The eyes of the children in many families lit up at this moment, shouting happily, pointing to the screen and shouting: "Mom, look, the little train can talk, the cat, the cat can also talk... I want a Little goldfish, you can dance."
The adult audience in front of the TV also watched this scene intently.
They were amazed by the sudden appearance, but also full of curiosity about these non-human beings: "This looks a bit like a fairy tale kingdom in some story, it's so beautiful!"But why can they survive?Are these cute guys monsters?Are they the ones who have been making trouble in the villa?Why?Will they hurt Aaron them? '
When various thoughts came to mind, some keen viewers noticed a strange place.
The Aaron family was gloomy from the beginning, and what surrounded them was depression, depression, exhaustion and quarrels;
But these non-human beings that appeared at night, bright red toy trains, red, yellow and blue Superman dolls, dark black ghosts, golden little goldfish, and even off-white stone statues are brightly colored and brightly lit, and among them The atmosphere in the room is always cheerful.
They are obviously inanimate objects.
But in the camera, it vividly presents an amazing vitality that no human being has!
Does this have any special meaning?
Some of the audience who liked to think also pondered.
But more viewers are still watching the excitement.
They watched with great interest the fantasy scenes that only appeared in their imaginations, enjoying a 'non-human carnival' with pleasure.
However, when they looked at...
The colors on the screen suddenly became brighter!
what happened?oh……
Everyone reacted immediately: the light was turned on!
and many more?
Who can turn on the light?
It's like the pause button has been pressed.
The portrait, whose body was stuck out of the frame and had not had time to go back, remained motionless; a stone statue that had not yet fallen was also frozen there when one leg was raised; mouth, licking his paws, and meowing a few times guiltily.
Then, the little train stopped on the track; Doll Superman didn't try to fly anymore;
The music of the music box stopped abruptly; the little goldfish that jumped out of the water one after another, wagging its tail in the air, and danced happily, suddenly fell into the fish tank like a stone, making a small "plop", Countless sparkling water splashed out...
Aaron, who was still pressing the light switch with one hand: "???!"
He stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of him, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure there was nothing wrong with him.
In fact, the audience in front of the TV was also stunned: "It's so easy to be exposed? It's too fast!"
Because the previous few episodes were lengthy and mysterious.
It directly led to the impression that this drama has always been slow in the impression of some audiences.
Now, the progress of the plot of this episode is like being double-fast forwarded, or accidentally stepping on the accelerator, rushing forward all the way, unable to stop!
Isn't this too unexpected?
But it seems... still so enjoyable? !
The audience felt a little complicated.
At this time, a slow voice sounded abruptly like a voiceover: "Your Excellency, please raise your foot."
The camera gradually moved down from Aaron's sluggish expression.
A short man, whose whole body was covered in a big black robe, couldn't see his face at all, and the dark Mr. Ghost sitting on the ground seemed to raise his head, protesting in a low voice: "You stepped on my body. "
step on the body?
With the faint sound of music and Aaron's suspicious gaze, the audience also followed the camera and looked at the protagonist's feet, but there was clearly nothing there, a piece of air and nothing.
But Mr. Phantom said he stepped on it.
Is it that humans can't see it; or is it deliberately finding fault?
So, which one will it be?
Next...?
What should Aaron do next?
Screaming, shouting ghosts?Take your foot off and apologize to the ghost?Make friends with non-humans?Or a battle with non-humans?
The audience's appetite has been lifted high again, and their attention is becoming more and more focused on this drama.
Available in the next moment!
For old audiences, the equally familiar ending song rang without delay.
The fifth episode was so caught off guard, caught off guard...
it's over? ! !
[[-]] There are two bottles of champagne!
In the courtyard of Director Jones, there was no sound.
Although participated in the creation of Gathering, in fact, this is the first time that everyone in the crew has seen the finished product after editing, soundtracking and production.
"Is this our work?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
The plot is still the one that everyone discusses and is familiar with. The actors on the screen are also people who can be seen every day during filming. Many shots are also very familiar. I didn’t expect that when everything is combined, the effect is so, so. good!
The most important thing is that although only one episode is aired!
But the show clearly has acquired an air of its own that sets it apart and stands out from the crowd with ease ever since.
And this temperament comes from Sami.
His forever inseparable monster plot, innocent yearning for the mysterious world, and...a unique and weird sense of humor, the fat black cat can never jump off the window sill, and can only talk; the stone statue walks without bending its knees ; the picture frame fell to the ground, and the characters inside fell to the ground; there was also the boy who became a strong man at the beginning, and Aaron had a big fight with his parents because of this, and refused to be a child anymore and began to show his muscles.
Every detail is carefully crafted, it seems that in his eyes, there is no place in the world that is not interesting.
Even if four episodes were aired before, even if the follow-up plot changes are still greatly restricted, this rookie director can still wear heavy shackles, galloping freely in the fairy tale world in his mind, and at the same time, not forgetting Share all this beautifully and happily and show it to the audience.
Nobody can really say no to this show.
Because seeing him makes the world full of happiness!
"Based on this episode, what do you think our chances of success are, Director Jones?"
Maybe it was because everyone was silent, and Sami, who didn't care much about the result, became nervous and couldn't help asking.
"Ahem, I don't know."
Director Jones, who has been relatively pessimistic in the past few years, wanted to say yes, but he didn't have much confidence in himself.
But meeting Sami's expectant eyes...
He still couldn't hold back and added: "But if I were an audience, I would watch from the beginning to the end without leaving for a second."
Everyone else in the crew couldn't help laughing.
Then, they began to make exaggerated but heart-warming speeches: "Don't worry, Director Jones, this show is fine." "Fuck, what a good show it is!" "I think this show will definitely be popular. ""This is definitely the best TV series I have ever filmed in my life." "Stop talking, sign me first! You will be a great director in the future, Sammy!"
I don’t know if it’s because I use a [-]-fold filter to look at my own things, or it’s just because everyone got together to boo and chat.
Anyway, after watching this episode, everyone gave an absolute 100% praise.
But it's only been broadcast for one episode so far, and it's unrealistic to expect the ratings to soar all of a sudden, to be a big upset, and to be proud from now on.
However, the company's website did receive messages from some viewers, some asking about the plot, and some urging the next episode to be broadcast soon.
Moreover, there are personnel in the company who are responsible for statistical ratings.
Rossi has always liked to expand contacts everywhere, so she is also very familiar with them.
Even if not long ago, he was still arguing about Sammy's "disappointing choice".
But at this time, he was still very concerned about helping to inquire about the data, and, in the following days, he has been paying attention to the data of this drama.
Thus, he witnessed a miraculous counterattack.
At the beginning, the show did not perform well.
A drama that was almost canceled was half-aired, and it was temporarily used to fill in the gaps, and it was withdrawn when the new drama came out.
It is conceivable what kind of hell-level start this is.
But since it aired, the drama has been extremely stable!
The scene was a bit like a good student who had just transferred from a bad school in the country to a good private school in the city.
Although the foundation is poor, the start is late, the appearance looks unpretentious, and there are no eye-catching gimmicks at all, but it is unyielding, full of tenacity, and strives to climb step by step!
——Aaron discovered the non-human world.
——Aaron and the non-humans became good friends.
——Aaron enthusiastically helps non-human beings solve the troubles they encounter in life.
——The non-humans reciprocated and helped Aaron drive away the vacation tutor that his parents invited temporarily.
——Aaron and the non-human went to the forest to play, and went to the river together.
——They held a party happily, sang and danced!
As "The Adventures of Aaron" aired episode by episode, more and more viewers began to watch the show.
Many children, in particular, stand in front of the TV punctually, waiting for their little train, little goldfish and other interesting non-human characters to appear.
So, the obedient students from the countryside continued to stagger forward in silence. The road was difficult, but step by step, they never stopped.
Rossi is actually a bit of a gossip in his bones, and he doesn't hide it in front of his friends. Therefore, every time he finds out some news, he immediately calls Sammy, acting more excited than Sammy himself: "Dude, do you know? Today The ratings of your drama have gone up by 0.1, keep up the good work.” “Hey, surprise! It’s risen again, not bad.” “Hey! It’s getting more and more interesting, today our company’s website is full of your crap drama Leave a message, someone from the marketing department seems to have submitted a suggestion to sell merchandise for your show." "Dude, ouch, it's gone up! It's gone up! The ratings have gone up again!"
Day after day!
When it worked hard to climb to the top [-] in TV ratings (the common ranking of all programs)...
Rossi called again.
This time, he could hear his extremely excited voice on the other end of the phone: "Awesome, Sammy! Although it is considered an off-season, you are actually ranked on the ratings list (the overall list of all programs) No.20, what a beautiful comeback!"
"Really? Twenty."
Sammy replied in his usual tone, completely unable to hear any joy.
In fact, in the eyes of others, this show is still on the air and belongs to the present continuous tense...
But in his opinion, this matter has been in the past for too long, and it is considered a thing of the past.
So, he just breathed a sigh of relief, and thought for a while with his fingers: "If No. 20 is considered a success? However, at least I can finally give everyone an explanation? I don't know if everyone will be satisfied? I should I didn’t let down Mr. Norris’ support, and I didn’t waste the appreciation of Director Jones, and I didn’t let everyone in the crew suffer under my chaotic command. By the way, there is also Mikey, alas, he has been busy for so many days , I am really grateful to him for taking care of me."
A few months later, several people from the TV department of the company suddenly went to Director Jones.
They also took two bottles of champagne, smiled politely and said, "Congratulations! Your "The Adventures of Aaron" will not be cut. The company decided to let you continue to shoot the fifth season, please continue to work hard!"
what?
real or fake?
awesome!
too crazy!
Jedi strikes back!
How could such an unscientific thing happen?
Director Jones almost burst into tears on the spot, and almost jumped up and danced for an electric shock dance.
In the end, he grabbed two bottles of champagne in a daze, and ran out all the way regardless of the few people from the company.
Get in the car, drive, open the door, and run!
Panting, he rang the doorbell of Sammy's house, and to Sammy who came to open the door, he was so excited that he said incoherently: "Good news... those people brought champagne, congratulations... we made it. Ya Aaron, Aaron is ready for season five."
Sammy was a little unresponsive.
In the end, he understood what Director Jones meant and laughed happily.
And when Mikey heard the voice and came out to check, he happened to see this scene...
The shattered golden sun is dancing in the bright eyes of the human beings, the slightly pouty lips look like a piece of sweet cherry candy, and the round-faced human beings stand at the door and smile in surprise
On the day of the show, Director Jones called Sammy in advance: "Tonight, our show is about to air. Now, let me tell you something, kid."
He said seriously on the other end of the phone: "Ten years ago, the first show I came to Hollywood to shoot was a super bad show. At that time, everyone thought I was completely finished. But ten years later, those who thought I was There are many people who have left the circle. Only me, still in front of the director. Although in your opinion, I may look a little bit bad now. But, Sammy, I just want to tell You have the same reason, a temporary failure is nothing at all, even if the results of tonight's episode are not good, there is no need to be afraid and worry, you are still young."
Sammy: "Ugh, uh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Director Jones couldn't help but bewildered: "...What, what is this sound, what are you doing?"
Sammy: "ennnnn... ah, oh, I'm eating cupcakes that Mikey just baked, would you like to come over and try them?"
Several veins popped out on Director Jones' forehead: "I'm telling you about "The Adventures of Aaron"!"
"That's right, Adventures, but the filming is over!"
Sammy said on the other end of the phone in a heartless tone
"Asshole, aren't you worried at all?"
On the surface, he was paying attention to the hearts of young newcomers, but in fact he was the one who panicked. Director Jones couldn't help accusing him angrily.
"How could you not be worried?" Sami retorted in surprise.
But before Director Jones felt a little relieved, he added an explanation: "I'm sure I'm a little worried, but today! Today is the first time Mikey learned how to make cupcakes, the first time!"
Heck!
Can making a cake for the first time be more important than the first episode you directed?
At this time, Mikey's soft voice that didn't fit his appearance came from the other end of the phone: "Sami, this plate doesn't seem to be baked very well..."
——No stealing!We agreed, this time I will try it first.
——But this one is spoiled, so let me eat it.
——You said that every time, and ended up eating three plates.
—Because it's all burnt.
Listening to the naive and nonsensical quarrel between the two people on the other end of the phone.
Director Jones inexplicably had a sense of exhaustion that he was really old.
Moreover, he is really speechless!
On the big weekend, two big men stay at home, and the children play like a house, what kind of cupcakes are they doing?
Excuse me, are you two adults?
Are you weaned?
But for some reason, Director Jones didn't want to hang up the phone for a long time.
He listened blankly to the other end of the phone, the two of them were fighting like children, because the tension and apprehension caused by the uncertain future of the series subconsciously eased a little.
"...Uh, sorry, Director Jones."
Sammy finally ended the argument with Mikey, and started talking on the phone again: "But you should also have some confidence in us."
It is different from the seriousness when filming on the set.
At this moment, his tone was very lively and brisk in line with the current age, and with a smile that could not be concealed, he said with almost naive optimism: "Maybe we will turn defeat into victory! After all, we have already made Everything that can be done, everyone works so hard, and the hard work will always pay off.”
It's so easy to say!
Sure enough, they are young people.
Director Jones couldn't help but smiled wryly on the other end of the phone.
Didn't I be so foolish as myself many years ago to believe in the silly saying that "paying will pay off", but how can success be so easy?Hollywood has a large number of newcomers entering the scene every year, with ups and downs, and not a few become famous in the end.
This road is too difficult to walk.
It often takes a few years to consume all the courage of a person.
—Jones, why do you think you can still succeed?You'll have to thank God for one chance of success.
——People should have confidence, but they should not have blind confidence. Recognize yourself.
— I heard you gave up your seat to a newcomer?Is this a broken jar?
——Okay, give up!If this show is hopeless, because of my old love, please beg me, I can forcefully arrange a job for you in my crew.
Not everyone can afford to fail repeatedly.
People in Hollywood are sometimes like standing on a thin layer of ice, and under this layer of ice, countless sharks gather here and wait. When people accidentally fall from the pinnacle of success, they It will reveal its ferocious fangs, and without hesitation, it will rush forward and bite fiercely!
At this time, the intense fear and hopelessness that arises in the heart is almost uncontrollable.
It is like the most greedy swamp, which can quickly swallow all the hopes, lights and dreams in people's hearts, and eventually turn people into a puddle of mud that can no longer be lifted up.
Watching the episodes that I made with my own hands gradually decline...
The pressure that Director Jones suffered is actually unimaginable for ordinary people.
'I'm probably hopeless, and neither is this show. '
Just when he was habitually thinking more and more pessimistic...
"Director Jones!"
But the young rookie director shouted again on the phone: "Actually... I don't know if it will work this time."
Listening to this stammering voice,
Director Jones almost immediately imagined the troubled childish expression on Xiaoyuan's face.
'Finally know worry? '
He hummed in his heart to relieve his hatred, and carefully took the opportunity to sarcastically say: "Didn't you just have confidence?"
"Because I'm so happy to cooperate with you and everyone in the crew, and I feel that it's okay to fail."
The young rookie director couldn't hear the dissatisfied tone of the person on the phone, and said enthusiastically and sincerely: "Whether I succeed or fail, I will not regret it! Because I like this time spent with everyone. It's like giving birth to a new life together. Even if others don't like it in the end, I myself will never think the child is ugly."
Who the hell is giving birth to a new life with you!What a shabby metaphor!
Director Jones almost spit out all the water he was drinking.
But I have to say that such a messy phone call really saved him from the increasingly uncontrollable depression caused by multiple failures.
"Okay, let's watch it tonight." He said weakly, and hung up the phone.
But it didn't end there.
Around four or five o'clock, the doorbell of Director Jones' house rang.
The alcoholic director who is home alone doesn't even want to get up and answer the door.
But the doorbell rang so loudly that no one could pretend not to hear it, so he could only lazily get up, carry the wine bottle, staggered over, and opened the door without looking at it: "Is it annoying? ..."
"Why did you open the door? Are you deaf!" Sister Corinna interrupted him very dissatisfied.
She squeezed Director Jones away, walked into the room rebelliously, and yelled, "Oh my God, is this a pig's nest?"
"Hello, director!" The cameraman and the scene manager greeted each other with smiles.
They carried two bags of what seemed to be beer and snacks, and followed Sister Corinna into the house.
Next, the crew’s costumer, makeup artist, accountant (why did the accountant come?) and actors, including Jack who played Aaron, and Nali who played Aaron’s mother...
In short, such a bunch of people just appeared in front of the door.
When they entered the house, they immediately crowded Director Jones' house to the brim.
"What's going on? What's going on? What's going on here?"
Director Jones was at a loss.
At this time, Sammy appeared in front of him.
There was a bright smile on Xiaoyuan's face: "Because tonight's episode is airing, let's all have dinner together."
Who wants to have dinner with you! !
Why come to my house for dinner!
Director Jones was reluctant.
But half an hour later, the tables, chairs, pots and pans, and barbecue pits were all taken to the yard, and the air was filled with the aroma of beer and barbecue.
Sammy and the cameraman pulled Director Jones' projector and curtain into the yard, installed the speakers and so on, and made a simple open-air movie, and then patiently waited for them with everyone. episodes of .
If a person feels restless, apprehensive, anxious...
Then let's face it together!
Director Jones stood foolishly in the middle of the yard, just watching the once deserted home gradually become crowded and bustling, and suddenly found in astonishment that, starting from the failures several years ago, there was a lot in his heart. I don't know when the solid ice that appeared in the middle seems to have finally melted slowly, and there are bursts of warmth in my heart.
He took a deep breath gently, and finally walked to his crew in relief, blending in with his familiar colleagues and friends...
But at the next moment, he couldn't help shouting: "Stop it! Mikey, don't waste things! So the fire is to burn charcoal? Grill chicken wings on medium and small fires, and seafood on medium fires! Do you know how to make that fire? , if you don’t know it, let it go quickly, don’t make any trouble!”
Mikey looked at him with a strange expression.
He thought in his heart: [Hey!do you know?I am a majestic flaming dragon that is suspected by humans not to be on fire? ]
At this time, a burst of music suddenly sounded in the yard.
The "Aaron Adventures" that everyone has been waiting for has finally started to play.
Everyone in the crew, who had been familiar with the theme song for a long time, listened to it in unison, showing a look of surprise: "Hey, you listen? This song, this song... seems a little different?!"
"That's right, I changed it."
Sammy said casually, biting into a bunch of mushrooms.
This time, in order to match the overall plot of the fourth season, he made adjustments to the opening theme song after discussing with the staff responsible for the soundtrack.
The original melody with a gentle rhythm becomes alternately fast and slow. Although the same tune as before can still be heard, the melody is sometimes active to a certain extent, and sometimes moves forward slowly step by step, thus creating a kind of rhythm that fits the plot. , unpredictable mysterious atmosphere.
Are you too hardworking?
Everyone in the crew looked at him in surprise.
At the same time, some old viewers of "The Adventures of Aaron" also noticed this change.
Listening to the theme song, which is obviously familiar but a bit unfamiliar, they thought a little curiously: "Is this still the "Adventures of Young Aaron" we know??"
Probably not!
Because, along with the theme song, the new title clearly appeared on the screen - The Adventures of 'Strong Man' Aaron!
At the same time, a close-up shot of the protagonist Aaron immediately appeared.
For the sake of the word "juvenile", the operation of "deliberately looking for various angles during shooting, and even asking the actors to pretend to be tender, so that the protagonist can be filmed small" disappeared.
Aaron, who got up early in the morning for a morning jog, showed off his chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and thigh muscles to his heart's content on the screen...
The first reaction of the former old viewers was: Damn it!What exactly has this child been through?
But the next moment, they recalled the title of "The Adventures of Aaron the Brawny", and burst into laughter uncontrollably: Appropriate!It's true!
Is this because the development is too fast and forced to change the name of the series?
Just in the first few minutes, all the old audience laughed until their stomach hurts.
Many people are attracted by the exaggerated laughter of the people around them, and they are super curious to know what kind of joke is going on?
And because I had nothing to do on the weekend, I simply sat down and watched this TV series with my friends and family.
[[-]] Human meets non-human
At this time, the broadcast of "Aaron's Adventures" is already the fifth episode of the fourth season.
On the one hand, because the fourth season has been off the air for a long time, die-hard old viewers may not be able to clearly remember the plot content of the previous episodes; Also eager to develop more new audiences, so as to increase the ratings of this series.
Therefore, at the beginning of the film, although he deliberately edited a few clips as a brief synopsis, he didn't bother to add more plots in advance.
So, in the middle of Aaron's morning run, he met an enthusiastic local who lived nearby.
The two chatted casually for a while.
--how is everything?Are you used to it?The countryside is not as convenient as the city, so if you need help, just ask.
——Hehe, what a great stay!
Accompanied by Aaron's obviously unhappy answer.
The pre-love clips edited by Sammy took the opportunity to pass quickly, including the scene of Aaron's family first arriving at the villa, as well as some strange things that happened in the villa, such as the sound of walking in the middle of the night, the creaking sound of the door opening, squatting on the window sill The black cat on the sky, the candy that disappeared...
In this way, old audiences can use this to recall the strange things that happened in the villa; new audiences can also know that the problem lies in this villa.
According to the original script of the fourth season of "The Adventures of Aaron", the following plot should continue to revolve around the actions of the Aaron family, dig out the secrets of the villa, find the reason for the strange occurrence, and finally end with defeating the villa ghost of the boss of the whole show .
But after the broadcast of this plot mode, it was proved that it was not good.
At that time, after watching the first few episodes, many viewers didn't have any curiosity and deciphering thoughts at all.
The feedback they gave was 'mysterious and boring';
And 'I just want to watch something relaxing and happy on weekends and holidays, and I don't want to watch such bitter and bitter stuff'.
So……
Sammy boldly changed the whole plot.
The changes in the roles of Aaron's family are less obvious.
They are still trying to dig out the secrets of this villa, and at the same time find the reason for the appearance of those monsters.But in the process of digging and searching, some more intense disputes have been added.
Long-time viewers will be very surprised to see that Aaron, the main character who has been well-behaved in the first three seasons, shows a rebellious side in this season.
He began to have constant quarrels with his parents, sometimes because of homework in school, sometimes because of the way things were done, and sometimes it might just be an unintentional remark...
But these quarrels are very simple. For example, whether to eat more cabbage is a childish question. There is no right or wrong at all, but the two sides have different ideas.
But the frequent quarrels over trivial matters still made the Aaron family more and more silent, and even the interesting exploration process became lifeless.
In these scenes, Sammy deliberately played the lighting very darkly, and the soundtrack was also quiet and gloomy, like the dark waves under the calm sea, symbolizing the difficult-to-reconcile family conflicts.
Director Jones and the writers were a little hesitant to do this at first.
Because they are not sure whether creating conflicts in the protagonist's family, which has always been harmonious, will arouse dissatisfaction among the audience.
But under Sami's persistence and repeated persuasion, and there was really no better idea at the time, the filming was finally made.
Good results.
From the very beginning, The Adventures of Aaron was launched as a family drama.
This also means that its audience itself is based on families, and they also watch movies collectively on weekends from time to time.
Therefore, after seeing the plot here, whether it is a new audience in front of the TV or an old audience, they have mixed feelings.
So familiar!
Isn't this exactly what happened to me?All kinds of trivial dissatisfaction in life accumulate more and more...
Obviously, if such a plot is set up, if it is another type of TV series, it may be annoying.
But in its audience, it is extremely resonant.
Moreover, during the filming process, the questions raised by Sammy were not big ones, and the angles they took were very neutral. They neither said that Aaron was wrong, nor that their parents were wrong, and only let the audience judge for themselves.
As a result, different audiences often have different ideas when watching the same scene. For example, young people understand the pain of Aaron being controlled by his parents, but adults understand Aaron's parents' painstaking efforts to intervene in everything.
For a while, many viewers even started arguing about who was right and who was wrong in front of the screen.
But Sammy didn't want to give them even a minute to argue.
Because, this drama is not a bloody family problem drama, but a fantasy adventure comedy.
So, here comes the point.
When night came, the Aaron family once again quarreled over trivial matters, and angrily went back to each house to rest and sleep... The villa woke up!
The portrait on the wall stretched out its arms, holding the picture frame and looking around;
The stone statue in the corridor took a step and started to walk one by one;
The ghost wanders about lightly without touching the ground;
The black cat squatting on the window sill meowed twice, and suddenly complained: "I don't want to lose weight, human beings will grow up too, look at that kid, he was still a kid when he first came here, But how strong it is now. So, the cat is not fat, the cat has just grown."
No one had time to pay attention to the cat.
All the non-human beings in the villa took advantage of the dead of night and began to take advantage of the time to carry out free activities.
They are familiar with their bodies, talk to their neighbors from time to time, exchange information about each other, and help each other solve some small troubles...
For example, amidst the scream of the vase, the walking stone statue slowly moved over, pushing it in to ensure safety.
This scene was shot by Sami full of wit and wit.
Under the soft moonlight, all kinds of non-humans are busy.
Stretching out his arms with difficulty, trying to wipe the picture frame of the cleanliness portrait for himself, his whole body leaned out on the picture frame, looking trembling and about to crumble, but he persisted in wiping the dust off the edge of the picture frame with his fingers;
The walking posture of the stone statue is as clumsy as a young child, moving every step, but from the mouth of the vase, it is known that it has learned to walk for less than a week;
The ghost seems to have lost its memory, and occasionally said a few words but it seemed fragmented, what' I'm looking for, it's the nature of human beings to look for it, to look for it during life and after death...but what am I looking for? '
His tone was empty, dangling around, his whole body was empty and light, as if a gust of wind could blow it away;
The black cat babbled endlessly, repeating 'I'm not fat, I'm just growing up' on the windowsill.
In addition, some toys in the window have also come to life.
A small children's train made two whimpers, and started to move by itself; a Superman doll walked around on the ground, thinking in confusion, "I'm Superman, why can't I fly";
The music box played Fur Elise on its own; the small goldfish in the fish tank opened its eyes wide, and accompanied by the music, it danced lightly in the water, wagging its tail lightly.
At this moment, the bright moonlight streamed in like mercury, silently illuminating the whole room.
More and more non-human beings wake up under the moonlight and happily join this night party... They seem so happy, free and carefree, without any troubles, without any sadness and anger, They are friendly and harmonious with each other, with occasional quarrels, but no real disputes at all.
The camera pans little by little, bringing every non-human character to life.
The eyes of the children in many families lit up at this moment, shouting happily, pointing to the screen and shouting: "Mom, look, the little train can talk, the cat, the cat can also talk... I want a Little goldfish, you can dance."
The adult audience in front of the TV also watched this scene intently.
They were amazed by the sudden appearance, but also full of curiosity about these non-human beings: "This looks a bit like a fairy tale kingdom in some story, it's so beautiful!"But why can they survive?Are these cute guys monsters?Are they the ones who have been making trouble in the villa?Why?Will they hurt Aaron them? '
When various thoughts came to mind, some keen viewers noticed a strange place.
The Aaron family was gloomy from the beginning, and what surrounded them was depression, depression, exhaustion and quarrels;
But these non-human beings that appeared at night, bright red toy trains, red, yellow and blue Superman dolls, dark black ghosts, golden little goldfish, and even off-white stone statues are brightly colored and brightly lit, and among them The atmosphere in the room is always cheerful.
They are obviously inanimate objects.
But in the camera, it vividly presents an amazing vitality that no human being has!
Does this have any special meaning?
Some of the audience who liked to think also pondered.
But more viewers are still watching the excitement.
They watched with great interest the fantasy scenes that only appeared in their imaginations, enjoying a 'non-human carnival' with pleasure.
However, when they looked at...
The colors on the screen suddenly became brighter!
what happened?oh……
Everyone reacted immediately: the light was turned on!
and many more?
Who can turn on the light?
It's like the pause button has been pressed.
The portrait, whose body was stuck out of the frame and had not had time to go back, remained motionless; a stone statue that had not yet fallen was also frozen there when one leg was raised; mouth, licking his paws, and meowing a few times guiltily.
Then, the little train stopped on the track; Doll Superman didn't try to fly anymore;
The music of the music box stopped abruptly; the little goldfish that jumped out of the water one after another, wagging its tail in the air, and danced happily, suddenly fell into the fish tank like a stone, making a small "plop", Countless sparkling water splashed out...
Aaron, who was still pressing the light switch with one hand: "???!"
He stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of him, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure there was nothing wrong with him.
In fact, the audience in front of the TV was also stunned: "It's so easy to be exposed? It's too fast!"
Because the previous few episodes were lengthy and mysterious.
It directly led to the impression that this drama has always been slow in the impression of some audiences.
Now, the progress of the plot of this episode is like being double-fast forwarded, or accidentally stepping on the accelerator, rushing forward all the way, unable to stop!
Isn't this too unexpected?
But it seems... still so enjoyable? !
The audience felt a little complicated.
At this time, a slow voice sounded abruptly like a voiceover: "Your Excellency, please raise your foot."
The camera gradually moved down from Aaron's sluggish expression.
A short man, whose whole body was covered in a big black robe, couldn't see his face at all, and the dark Mr. Ghost sitting on the ground seemed to raise his head, protesting in a low voice: "You stepped on my body. "
step on the body?
With the faint sound of music and Aaron's suspicious gaze, the audience also followed the camera and looked at the protagonist's feet, but there was clearly nothing there, a piece of air and nothing.
But Mr. Phantom said he stepped on it.
Is it that humans can't see it; or is it deliberately finding fault?
So, which one will it be?
Next...?
What should Aaron do next?
Screaming, shouting ghosts?Take your foot off and apologize to the ghost?Make friends with non-humans?Or a battle with non-humans?
The audience's appetite has been lifted high again, and their attention is becoming more and more focused on this drama.
Available in the next moment!
For old audiences, the equally familiar ending song rang without delay.
The fifth episode was so caught off guard, caught off guard...
it's over? ! !
[[-]] There are two bottles of champagne!
In the courtyard of Director Jones, there was no sound.
Although participated in the creation of Gathering, in fact, this is the first time that everyone in the crew has seen the finished product after editing, soundtracking and production.
"Is this our work?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
The plot is still the one that everyone discusses and is familiar with. The actors on the screen are also people who can be seen every day during filming. Many shots are also very familiar. I didn’t expect that when everything is combined, the effect is so, so. good!
The most important thing is that although only one episode is aired!
But the show clearly has acquired an air of its own that sets it apart and stands out from the crowd with ease ever since.
And this temperament comes from Sami.
His forever inseparable monster plot, innocent yearning for the mysterious world, and...a unique and weird sense of humor, the fat black cat can never jump off the window sill, and can only talk; the stone statue walks without bending its knees ; the picture frame fell to the ground, and the characters inside fell to the ground; there was also the boy who became a strong man at the beginning, and Aaron had a big fight with his parents because of this, and refused to be a child anymore and began to show his muscles.
Every detail is carefully crafted, it seems that in his eyes, there is no place in the world that is not interesting.
Even if four episodes were aired before, even if the follow-up plot changes are still greatly restricted, this rookie director can still wear heavy shackles, galloping freely in the fairy tale world in his mind, and at the same time, not forgetting Share all this beautifully and happily and show it to the audience.
Nobody can really say no to this show.
Because seeing him makes the world full of happiness!
"Based on this episode, what do you think our chances of success are, Director Jones?"
Maybe it was because everyone was silent, and Sami, who didn't care much about the result, became nervous and couldn't help asking.
"Ahem, I don't know."
Director Jones, who has been relatively pessimistic in the past few years, wanted to say yes, but he didn't have much confidence in himself.
But meeting Sami's expectant eyes...
He still couldn't hold back and added: "But if I were an audience, I would watch from the beginning to the end without leaving for a second."
Everyone else in the crew couldn't help laughing.
Then, they began to make exaggerated but heart-warming speeches: "Don't worry, Director Jones, this show is fine." "Fuck, what a good show it is!" "I think this show will definitely be popular. ""This is definitely the best TV series I have ever filmed in my life." "Stop talking, sign me first! You will be a great director in the future, Sammy!"
I don’t know if it’s because I use a [-]-fold filter to look at my own things, or it’s just because everyone got together to boo and chat.
Anyway, after watching this episode, everyone gave an absolute 100% praise.
But it's only been broadcast for one episode so far, and it's unrealistic to expect the ratings to soar all of a sudden, to be a big upset, and to be proud from now on.
However, the company's website did receive messages from some viewers, some asking about the plot, and some urging the next episode to be broadcast soon.
Moreover, there are personnel in the company who are responsible for statistical ratings.
Rossi has always liked to expand contacts everywhere, so she is also very familiar with them.
Even if not long ago, he was still arguing about Sammy's "disappointing choice".
But at this time, he was still very concerned about helping to inquire about the data, and, in the following days, he has been paying attention to the data of this drama.
Thus, he witnessed a miraculous counterattack.
At the beginning, the show did not perform well.
A drama that was almost canceled was half-aired, and it was temporarily used to fill in the gaps, and it was withdrawn when the new drama came out.
It is conceivable what kind of hell-level start this is.
But since it aired, the drama has been extremely stable!
The scene was a bit like a good student who had just transferred from a bad school in the country to a good private school in the city.
Although the foundation is poor, the start is late, the appearance looks unpretentious, and there are no eye-catching gimmicks at all, but it is unyielding, full of tenacity, and strives to climb step by step!
——Aaron discovered the non-human world.
——Aaron and the non-humans became good friends.
——Aaron enthusiastically helps non-human beings solve the troubles they encounter in life.
——The non-humans reciprocated and helped Aaron drive away the vacation tutor that his parents invited temporarily.
——Aaron and the non-human went to the forest to play, and went to the river together.
——They held a party happily, sang and danced!
As "The Adventures of Aaron" aired episode by episode, more and more viewers began to watch the show.
Many children, in particular, stand in front of the TV punctually, waiting for their little train, little goldfish and other interesting non-human characters to appear.
So, the obedient students from the countryside continued to stagger forward in silence. The road was difficult, but step by step, they never stopped.
Rossi is actually a bit of a gossip in his bones, and he doesn't hide it in front of his friends. Therefore, every time he finds out some news, he immediately calls Sammy, acting more excited than Sammy himself: "Dude, do you know? Today The ratings of your drama have gone up by 0.1, keep up the good work.” “Hey, surprise! It’s risen again, not bad.” “Hey! It’s getting more and more interesting, today our company’s website is full of your crap drama Leave a message, someone from the marketing department seems to have submitted a suggestion to sell merchandise for your show." "Dude, ouch, it's gone up! It's gone up! The ratings have gone up again!"
Day after day!
When it worked hard to climb to the top [-] in TV ratings (the common ranking of all programs)...
Rossi called again.
This time, he could hear his extremely excited voice on the other end of the phone: "Awesome, Sammy! Although it is considered an off-season, you are actually ranked on the ratings list (the overall list of all programs) No.20, what a beautiful comeback!"
"Really? Twenty."
Sammy replied in his usual tone, completely unable to hear any joy.
In fact, in the eyes of others, this show is still on the air and belongs to the present continuous tense...
But in his opinion, this matter has been in the past for too long, and it is considered a thing of the past.
So, he just breathed a sigh of relief, and thought for a while with his fingers: "If No. 20 is considered a success? However, at least I can finally give everyone an explanation? I don't know if everyone will be satisfied? I should I didn’t let down Mr. Norris’ support, and I didn’t waste the appreciation of Director Jones, and I didn’t let everyone in the crew suffer under my chaotic command. By the way, there is also Mikey, alas, he has been busy for so many days , I am really grateful to him for taking care of me."
A few months later, several people from the TV department of the company suddenly went to Director Jones.
They also took two bottles of champagne, smiled politely and said, "Congratulations! Your "The Adventures of Aaron" will not be cut. The company decided to let you continue to shoot the fifth season, please continue to work hard!"
what?
real or fake?
awesome!
too crazy!
Jedi strikes back!
How could such an unscientific thing happen?
Director Jones almost burst into tears on the spot, and almost jumped up and danced for an electric shock dance.
In the end, he grabbed two bottles of champagne in a daze, and ran out all the way regardless of the few people from the company.
Get in the car, drive, open the door, and run!
Panting, he rang the doorbell of Sammy's house, and to Sammy who came to open the door, he was so excited that he said incoherently: "Good news... those people brought champagne, congratulations... we made it. Ya Aaron, Aaron is ready for season five."
Sammy was a little unresponsive.
In the end, he understood what Director Jones meant and laughed happily.
And when Mikey heard the voice and came out to check, he happened to see this scene...
The shattered golden sun is dancing in the bright eyes of the human beings, the slightly pouty lips look like a piece of sweet cherry candy, and the round-faced human beings stand at the door and smile in surprise
