Raising Dragons in Hollywood

After tough Mr. Corlean vomited...

I wiped my mouth with a paper towel, and went back to finish watching the whole movie.

He then agreed to invest an additional portion.

However, when signing the check, he said to Rossi: "If you don't lose a lot, you will make a lot of money!"

Rossi promised with all his mouth that he would shoot well and would not pay for it.

But neither of them believed.

It's all in the future, who knows?

Anyway, the money is in hand.

Everyone can go back and continue shooting.

During this process, Sammy did not show up from beginning to end.

He hid behind Rossi, acting not like a crew director, but like a sidekick doing chores for the producer.

As expected, Mr. Corrien habitually ignored this kind of 'little person'.

Until they left, they didn't find out that the culprit of 'causing myself to vomit' was actually an acquaintance.

Next, the crew filmed for another seven or eight weeks.

Then, officially enter the final sprint stage.

At this stage, Sammy wanted to shoot a scene of the snake migration as the finale of the film.

In order to make this scene real and vivid, he went around looking for people to find a way to help bring some real snakes over...

Everyone thought he was crazy: "What the hell do you think a snake is? A good little kitten?"

Sami didn't think that the snake was an obedient kitten, but said: "I am a dragon slaying warrior, and ten thousand snakes avoid it."

There were also some people who thought it was very interesting, and actually helped him contact places like reptile halls and pet stores, and brought hundreds of snakes here intermittently...

That dense scene was terrifying.

Many crew members couldn't bear it and wanted to ask for leave.

After Mai Qi noticed his big move to death, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Please, I am a dragon, but you are not! You can lead a group of snakes with such a little breath, you really treat yourself like a dragon slayer Are you a warrior?"

But the slander belongs to the slander, in order not to let her own humans die in Shekou.

Mai Qilong still ran over with the thought of "I want to watch the fun" and escorted him, so that those low-level animals with only instincts should be obedient and don't mess with a certain little round face, otherwise, "I Just burn you to death'.

So, the filming of a great migration of snakes began in a rented remote pasture.

The snakes were released from the snake box one after another, and then, being driven by the staff with sticks, they crawled towards the wet grass one by one. The huge python model made by the props group stood in the front, icy cold. Looking into the distance, like a leader, leading the entire snake family, moving forward firmly!

Sammy's eyes glowed, and he directed the photographer excitedly to take pictures repeatedly around the snakes.

Mikey also ran around, so that the group of snakes would be obediently filming and avoid causing trouble.

This scene was shot both horribly and magically.

Because no one could figure out why those snakes listened to Sammy.

Wolfe, who has been holding the director's thigh tightly all the time, specifically mentioned this incident when he was on the show: "If the person who rented the pasture to us knows that we want this grassland to graze real snakes, he I would probably die of fright, or regret it."

He said with a puzzled face: "After all, it's easy to release snakes, but it's hard to get them back. Who knows where these snakes will crawl in the future. But the most amazing thing about the whole thing is that Sarah All the snakes released by Director Mi came back later, and those who came back by themselves lined up in a neat line, and there were quite a few of them! He is really a magical director, no, a magical snake trainer."

Many people don't believe it at all, thinking that this is a hype technique by the crew.

Similar to those crews who shoot ghost movies, they will come up with some haunted news from time to time to attract the attention of movie fans.

But for those on the set at the time, Sammy did become a 'magic director'.

This allowed him to do a lot of work in the later stage, and no matter what he did in the crew, it was very smooth.

Worried that his own human beings would cause a major event, he had to suspend work. Mai Qilong, who had been sitting on the crew, retired once again, hiding his merits and fame.

Finally finished shooting.

Rossi, the producer who has been trying to control Sammy's money, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He admits that Sammy is a super good friend, straightforward and righteous.

But that still doesn't change the fact that 'Sammy's view of money is a piece of shit'.

Fortunately, everything that costs money is over.

Now, it's time to think about how to make money.

Rosie took Sammy with her on the road to seeking distribution for the film.

They checked the time and participated in a domestic film festival specially set up for independent filmmakers, planning to promote the film at this film festival.

Although there is so much art for art's sake at the festival, it's flashy, and the competition is fierce.

But for younger filmmakers, it does provide a showcase for their films.

Therefore, whenever the film festival starts, hundreds of films will be beaten here in order to attract buyers.

Here, various tea parties, receptions, and small-scale media gatherings are held every day. On the surface, it is just a private place for some filmmakers to socialize and connect with each other.In fact, every party is a mini-trade market.Filmmakers without any connections may not even be able to enter the gates of these trading markets.

Rossi, however, is at home in this kind of setting.

He's up to date on all the latest happenings at the festival, and he's very professional.

In order to sell the film, he went around looking for people to make connections. From time to time, he would squat at the door of those parties or in the parking lot, ready to wait for the opportunity. Make friends, expand contacts, and desperately want to squeeze into those circles anyway.

Sammy generally didn't bother to go with him.

A person who has been spoiled since childhood, no matter how peaceful his attitude is, he still has a bit of arrogance in his bones, so he is not happy to flatter others just to attend a bad reception.

Rossi didn't force it (mainly because he was afraid that Sammy wouldn't be able to help and would cause trouble), but just suggested in a good voice: "Since you won't go with me, why not let Mikey go with me. Otherwise, I will go with you." It's boring to be alone, and I'm also working hard for our cause."

Sammy doesn't care.

It's also good for him to play by himself. He doesn't need anyone to accompany him, so let Mikey decide by himself.

Mikey had nothing to do after thinking about it, and was curious about this human film festival, so he agreed.

As a result, the next day he rushed back to Sami and cried: "Rosie is too much, actually asked me to coax a rich woman so that she could take us to a reception."

Rosie tried to defend herself by saying: "Mrs. Chrissy just wanted to have a cup of tea with you because you look like her dead husband."

Mai Qi complained: "Nonsense, her deceased husband was a dumpy man of three hundred catties."

Sammy was simply shocked.

Mikey was so big, but he hid behind him, like a baby who had been wronged and finally found his mother, hugged Sami and refused to let go, and refused to go out with Rosie again.

Rossi is very sorry about this, maybe Micky's handsome face really has the effect of a "passport"?

But from this incident, it can also be seen how unscrupulous he was at that time.

But even if everyone in the world looks down on Rossi's behavior.

Sammy couldn't do that either.

Because it is under Rossi's continuous efforts...

The film they shot called "Snake" was successfully delivered to Leotini.

Leotini is a member of the jury of this film festival.

When he got this film, he didn't feel anything, because this film itself was not famous at all, except for Na Li, who is a famous TV star, the actors who participated in the film were not well-known, and the director and producer The filmmakers are all newcomers.

Therefore, Leontini had no hope for this film.

It was only because a friend asked him to take a look at it that he decided to take a look at it before going to bed at night. If it didn't look good, it was just hypnotized.

then……

He couldn't sleep again.

At the same time, Sami and the others were still running and putting up posters all over the street.

But when putting up the poster, something went wrong.

At that time, there was a bar, which was also popular with the film festival.

They allowed filmmakers to stick posters on the window panes of wine bars for publicity.

This wine bar has a lot of traffic, if the poster is really put up, it will definitely be a good publicity.

However, when Sami and the others went to put up the posters, they were stopped by security guards.

"You guys can't do it, let's go, find another place to post it." The security guard at the bar said.

"What? Why not?" Although Sami also knew that there was no reason for him to be angry. After all, this is someone else's place, but he was still unconvinced, because: "Why can others post it but not mine? If it is a poster It's too big, if it takes up space..."

To prove myself right.

He also stretched out his finger, pointed vigorously to a poster next to him and said, "Isn't this one bigger?"

On the movie poster he was pointing to, there was a scantily clad beauty printed on it, and next to it was written 'Sister Jenny will meet you on X-month X-day XX', which looked like some kind of Yellow advertisement.

The security guard took a look and smiled.

Then, he said: "You compare a scary snake with a beautiful girl? Go, go, snakes are not as good-looking as girls!"

Sammy was furious.

He felt that it was the security guard who was looking for faults. The reason might be that he was afraid of snakes, or he didn't like them.

Actually, neither is it.

It's just that they didn't give the security guard a favor.

But Sammy hadn't thought of that at the time.

Rossi went to socialize again, and Michelon who followed beside him didn't understand the unspoken rules of the human world at all.

So, he can only sulk to himself.

In the end, I was so angry, I had a flash of inspiration, and I came up with a good idea-to also make a poster with beautiful women.

Mikey was starting to find humans incomprehensible again.

He couldn't help but ask, "You're clearly shooting a snake movie, but drawing a beautiful woman on the poster, isn't that a false advertisement?"

Sammy directly painted the only two heroines in the film as beautiful snakes, that kind of...beauty in the upper body and snake tail in the lower body.

After hearing Mikey's question, he poked at the new poster confidently and plausibly and asked: "It's false there? Isn't it in these films? Isn't Mrs. Leonard in the film? Isn't Laura a character in the film? Are there no snakes? Since there are all of them, how can it be called a false advertisement? If there is none, it is called false! If there is, it is called environmental protection! I just put the characters together to save paper.”

Is this still possible?

Save paper?Characters put together?

Michelon thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything wrong with what Sammy said, so he believed it a little bit.

So, he admired it in his heart: "Humans really have endless creativity!"
