Raising Dragons in Hollywood

It seems that there is some magical power driving it somewhere.

Sammy then asked specifically about the band.

Brother Kerry didn't understand what he was asking this for.

But it's not a secret, the two of you talked to him one by one: "Hello band, an old rock band, formed ten years ago, has diehard fans, and has released records, I also participated in some tours, but all the bands became popular during the same period, and my friends became stars one after another, but they were never popular."

After saying this, Little Kerry remembered something and laughed again, and simply introduced the current members of the band to Sammy in a joking tone: "Colin, the main construction worker, part-time singing; Jon , the main job is a fast food restaurant chef, part-time guitarist; Kahn, the main job is a taxi driver, part-time bassist; Gelin, the main job is a pig butcher in a slaughterhouse, part-time drummer.”

"Ah? Wait!" Sammy was dumbfounded.

He couldn't help but ask: "Aren't they a band? Why do they still have a main job? The band is just a side job?"

Kerry, who has always been reticent, couldn't help laughing this time.

He rarely participates in such small talk: "They don't want to starve to death, and they can't support themselves in a band."

Sammy is still confused: "Why is that? Their music is bad?"

Qi Qi, the Kerry brothers, showed a troubled expression: "How do you say that?"

In the end, it was Kerry who struggled to answer the question: "Actually, we don't know."

"When they first debuted, they made classic albums. At that time, many people liked them. Even, some rock bands that appeared later gradually developed by imitating their style."

"The strange thing is, in the end, even the people who imitated them are getting more and more popular, but they have been unknown for so many years. The records can't be sold, and the tours are losing money..."

"In the music circle, as long as they are mentioned, even competitors, they will say with admiration that they are seniors; they are a band with great music style; they are enough to leave a name in the history of rock music!"

"But it's useless to say so much, they are magically unpopular, unpopular, and unprofitable."

That being said, it's so interesting!

Sammy's mind suddenly flew to the magical Hello band, and, in the following conversation with the Kerry brothers, he repeatedly lost his mind.

In the end, when Kerry once again asked whether to have a sequel to "Snake Trouble"...

He really couldn't hold back and said: "Can you find someone to tell me about the Hello band!"

The Kerry brothers looked at each other.

Fortunately, this request was not difficult to meet. They made a direct phone call and called the manager of the Hello band.

When the manager heard that he was asked to talk about the Hello band, he almost cried: "It's really not easy for them!"

The Kerry brothers felt very ashamed.

But Sammy became more interested in the band.

When he heard more and more about the band from Mr. Manager, he couldn't help thinking: "I like these characters and I like this story."

So, when the manager finished talking about the band and left crying...

Sammy suggested to the Kerry brothers: "Why don't we make a movie based on this interesting band?"

The Kerry brothers were surprised: "What's so good about this?"

These two brothers are so boring, they are not good at mining good things from life.

Sammy couldn't explain it to them.

Because their thinking is completely different, it is a collision of realism and idealism.

What the Kerry Brothers want to hear should be the promise of 'low cost, high profit, guaranteed money';

But what Sammy thinks in his heart is 'a fun game that is fresh, novel, and chasing dreams', and wants to play!

Fortunately, Sammy still has some credibility with the Kerry brothers because of "Snakes".

After thinking about it, the two brothers agreed.

They also promised to find a screenwriter to write the script as soon as possible.

Sammy went home happily and relieved.

He also told Mikey in advance: "You recently learned to sing, I plan to make a movie about the band, and you can play the lead singer."

Sing?

Mai Qilong opened his eyes wide in surprise, and patted his chest vigorously to assure: "Don't worry, I can do this! I have been a singer since I was a child!"

"Is it so powerful?" Sammy became interested.

He suggested excitedly and expectantly: "Then you sing to me."

Michelon has no stage fright.

He immediately sank into his dantian, opened his mouth suddenly and let out a roar.

That is definitely not a sound that humans can make.

The roars gushed out of his throat one after another, like the deep rumble of thunder in the sky.

Sammy rolled his eyes and fell back, stunned on the spot.

Michelon was terrified.

He rushed over, crying loudly.

Fortunately, less than half a minute.

Sammy woke up and responded, "Cool! What? I passed out? Oh, I'm awake now! Keep playing!"

He didn't have the slightest fear, and he didn't think it was a strange event. Instead, he felt that Mikey might belong to the exceptionally talented type, and maybe he really shouldn't be an actor, but a singer.Therefore, I also warmly suggested: "Practice more, and don't worry about me. I was caught off guard and it was too loud just now. Just improve the volume in the future."

Mikey was so impressed!

In his opinion, the smile of the round-faced little human at this moment is like a ray of sunshine, shining into his heart instantly, sweetly: "Oh, my human is so cute."

A week later,

The Kerry Brothers sent their secretary with the band script that Sammy wanted.

This speed is like riding a rocket!

Sammy never imagined that scripts could be written so quickly.

Then, he opened it and looked.

In the beginning, a rock band is formed.

This is correct.

The rock band went on tour.

This is also true.

In the same era, the career development of large and small bands is basically similar.

In the early years when the Internet was underdeveloped, rock bands relied on touring and singing all day long.

just,

Sami frowned when he saw this: "Facts are facts, but isn't this too unremarkable?"

If we continue to talk in such a straightforward way...

You can guess the plot next.

Sammy turned the next page with suppressed impatience.

What I didn't expect was that from here on, the plot took a sharp turn!

The band tours to a city and finds that there is no one alive in the city.

They temporarily stayed in an empty hotel, only to find that the bed, floor and ceiling were all covered with snakes in the middle of the night!

... What the hell is this?

Must escape the city or become food for the snakes?

Is it a familiar plot?

Is it a familiar place?

That's right!

The city they came to was the city occupied by snakes in "The Snake Trouble".

This operation... Fuck!

Sammy was annoyed: "These bastards are wearing the cover of the Hello band, and they want to make "Snakes 2" come out!"

Apparently, the Kerry brothers really wanted to team up with Sammy.

But they are not stupid.

Come to think of it, Sammy became popular with monster movies.

But what band movie is he going to make now?

Although it is said that what to shoot is one's own freedom.

But the question is, who can prove that a director who is good at making monster movies can also make that band movie well?

The Kerry brothers didn't want to agree at all, but they couldn't directly refute Sammy's meaning.

So, they came up with a script like this, hoping that after reading the script, Sammy could "get back from his way" and rediscover the beauty of monster movies instead of clinging to some boring band.

Sammy didn't want to argue with them.

He threw aside the four-faced "Snakes 2" and went out to outline the band's movie himself.

Previously, the manager of the Hello band has talked a lot about the band.

He has been thinking about this for the past few days, so he easily pulled out a main line.

Next, it's a matter of details.

Sammy simply ran to the Hello band and asked them face to face.

Moreover, since this band was used as the prototype, I had to ask them for an authorization in advance.

then,

At the construction site, he found the lead singer Colin who was moving bricks.

"I want to do a video of your band."

Sammy looked for it, and when he came up, he was straight to the point.

The lead singer of the band Hello was very surprised and asked, "Why?"

——I think it's very interesting. I don't have any particular reason, I just want to shoot it.

—Then I must say, you are a fool.

Ke Lin stood up straight with his tall and strong body, looking down at the short man with a round face in front of him.

He puzzled and said with a smile: "No one is interested in watching us, you know? We can't even sell records, we can only rely on self-production. And, I know you, you are a director with a bright future , Brilliant talent. Why don't you shoot something that can make money? Filming a boring little band like ours... What can you draw?"

If Rossi, who is more sociable, is here, he should have a good talk with the lead singer about the future benefits, and then talk about how the promotion effect after being made into a movie will benefit the band. In short, it will benefit from Starting from a different perspective, we can negotiate cooperation.

But unfortunately, Sammy is not good at these.

He just insisted on asking stubbornly and earnestly, repeatedly asking: "I just want to shoot, please allow me to shoot it."

Colin laughed again.

It may be because Sammy's baby face is too small, he didn't take such childish words at all at ease, and said casually: "In this case, I am deeply honored."

A proverb!

He was indeed deeply honored afterwards.
