Raising Dragons in Hollywood

The history of the rise of well-known filmmakers is often a history of cheating and abduction.

These words couldn't be more correct when applied to Sammy and Rossi.

think about it!

In the past, Rossi's producer tricked Mr. Corian into investing money, and described the film's prospects in a hype;

Later, in the name of saving paper and being environmentally friendly, director Sami made a poster of a beautiful snake, trying to trick a wave of audiences into watching the premiere.

These two are simply shameless in their own way.

The poor underage Charmander has been in a daze since he came to human society.

Now it seems that following the two of them will not learn much at all.

But there are benefits to being shameless, too.

There will be about [-] films participating in this film festival, that is to say, Sami and the others must fight their way out of these [-] films and completely stand out from the crowd before they have any chance of success.

Rossi's contribution in this regard is remarkable.

It was his unremitting efforts to find connections and find ways to help the film, which was finally named "The Snake", was appreciated by one of the judges, Leontini (after a night of insomnia).And, under his recommendation, the film was broadcast earlier.

Of course, there are still some films that will be broadcast at the front.

But being able to rank in the top [-], Sammy and the others are already very satisfied, it's better than being outside the top [-].

As a result, "Snake Woe" premiered in a small theater soon

Moreover, compared with the movies broadcast on the same day, there are still quite a lot of audiences watching it.

only……

I don't know how many of them came here with the curiosity of "seeing beautiful snakes".

Because the crew is not well-known, no special premiere ceremony was prepared.

Just before the lights were turned off, Sami, the director, stood up and wanted to say a few words meaningfully.

"Uh... this movie is not scary, it's funny."

The director with a small round face, who is not used to speaking in front of strangers, was embarrassed and introduced to the audience: "Although there are many snakes in the film, snakes are also quite cute."

It may be the first time I have heard someone describe a snake like this.

Moreover, the speaker's appearance looks very innocent and harmless.

The audience below laughed all of a sudden, and said one after another: "It's okay, we are here for the snake, don't be afraid."

There are also a few men who look strong on the outside and shouted jokingly: "Looking at you like this, you can't shoot anything scary. Stop talking nonsense, get out of the way, and let me see it too" cute snake'."

Everyone laughed heartily.

In the entire cinema, there was no atmosphere of watching a horror movie at all.

Rossi sat in the corner with a blank face, really having nothing to say about this development.

Sammy didn't think anything was wrong.

He scratched his head embarrassingly, that very deceptive natural baby round face made him small, cute and innocent, and he couldn't be connected with anything scary.

So, under the unanimous opinion of the audience that "don't talk nonsense, we are not afraid of anything" and "you can't shoot any horror stuff", the film started to play.

It is still the beginning of the dark night, the burial of the corpse, and the encounter with the snake.

It's just that the psychological endurance of these audiences in the theater is much stronger than that of Mr. Corian, an investor.

Although they also showed a touch of panic on their faces, there was no adverse reaction yet.

It's just... Occasionally there will be a few voices about "When will the snake become a human?" ''Maybe in the back? ''Could it be that the snakes that turned into people were these people-eating snakes?That's a bit too disgusting, isn't it?" Weird discussion.

However, that's just false advertising.

It is impossible to change people, and it is impossible to change until the end of the film.

At this moment, the camera turned and the picture brightened, and the figure of Sheriff Leonard appeared on the screen.

He came in a hurry with a team of police officers, the purpose is to investigate the case of 'snake cannibalism'.

original……

Although the murderer failed to bury the body halfway through.

But the behavior of the snakes eating the corpse indirectly helped him a lot.

The female body was almost devoured by the snakes, leaving only a few wreckage.

This not only successfully helped the murderer hide his traces, but also took the initiative to take the blame, misled the police in solving the case, and led their thinking in the wrong direction.

Sure enough, the police all believed that the female victim was killed by a snake.

In order to protect the residents of the town, the honest Sheriff Leonard is determined to lead a team to kill snakes.

Since they wanted to kill snakes, it was natural to conduct an investigation to find out where these snakes that were not found in the local area came from.

As a result, after an investigation, it was discovered that it was actually a pet snake imported from abroad. After it was released, it grew too wantonly because there were no natural enemies in the local area.

This has been on social news before.

As a result, viewers who had noticed this news had a familiar feeling when they saw it, and then remembered what actually happened in reality.

So, the movie continues playing.

At this time, a character that the audience was looking forward to but confused slowly came online.

Sheriff Leonard's wife - Mrs. Leonard, played by Nali, officially appeared on the screen...

Many viewers who were tricked by the posters said, "Wait, isn't this the beautiful snake? Why are the legs not the snake's tail? It's a disguise?"

At this time, many viewers have never imagined that someone would make such a shameless fake advertisement.

They began to fantasize, and even had suspenseful associations of 'the sheriff caught a snake, but his wife turned out to be a snake'.

But then, another 'beauty snake' in the poster also appeared.

Laura, a bad girl dressed in non-mainstream clothes, had a big fight with her parents and ran away from home angrily, but she didn't know where to go?

Because she is a neighbor and because her husband is a policeman, Mrs. Leonard, who is always used to helping others, noticed this scene.

So she invited Laura to come to her house as a guest to avoid the unsafe problem of an underage girl wandering outside.

At this moment, two lines appeared in the film.

The daily situations of Sheriff Leonard and Mrs. Leonard are shown respectively.

The audience watched in a cloud of fog, wondering what the hell was going on.

Some viewers with picky tastes will think: "It was quite exciting at the beginning, but now... oh! Don't be another drowsy movie, right?"

But where no one notices...

The pace of the movie started to pick up a little bit.

The new role-Story, the botanical garden consultant played by Wolfe, is a man with glasses and a gentle appearance.

He took the initiative to run to the police and introduced himself, claiming that "I am familiar with every plant and tree in the botanical garden" and "know some of the living habits of snakes", and he is willing to help the police quickly find those "killer snakes" to avoid further victim.

So Leonard agreed to hire him as a guide and allowed him to join the police snake squad...

With Stry's help, they managed to find the 'killer snakes' and killed them together with a group of police officers.

and many more?

……killed?

Killed so easily?

After finally lifting my spirits, I looked at the screen intently, full of anticipation that the "Human-Snake War" is over?

The audience was a little speechless for a moment.

A professional film critic among the audience has even started to think about how to write film reviews.

For this film, if that's all it is...

He thinks that he doesn't need to give too many comments, one sentence is enough: [A mysterious work by an inexperienced rookie director, the boss is finished ahead of time, the follow-up is boring, I slept for more than half an hour. ]

However, just when everyone's emotions calmed down and they thought the film was worthless...

The sky gradually darkened.

The camera zooms in slowly, and in this sleeping city, the audience can clearly see countless snakes crawling out from various places, in the grass, on the trees, In the trash can, in the sewer...

The snakes on the screen began to show a flood of scenes.

Even people who have never suffered from trysophobia are a little flustered seeing this scene.

In addition, these snakes do not seem to hide from humans anymore, and begin to openly appear in front of humans from the dark to the bright.

Amid the tense score, Sammy expertly uses close-ups and quick cuts to illustrate a (in his view, amusing and dramatic) sequence of events.

A housewife standing in the kitchen washing dishes suddenly found that the drain was blocked.

She reached out to touch it, but suddenly caught something slippery, and when she realized it was a snake, she immediately let out a terrified scream;

The family sitting on the sofa watching TV noticed that the lights were flickering and raised their heads curiously.

As a result, several snakes fell on them from the sky.

and also……

I went out to mow the lawn with a lawn mower, only to find that the yard was also full of snakes.

Snakes are everywhere, overwhelming and penetrating.

The gradually sounding background music also reveals a feeling of storms coming.

—it will be a town flooded with snakes!

The bored expressions on the faces of the audience froze instantly.

They didn't get the director's humor at all, but stared blankly at the screen, their smiles gradually disappearing...
