Raising Dragons in Hollywood
Chapter 47 Learning to Understand Characters
You can't really blame Mikey for his vehement rebuttal to the Kerry brothers.
Because he has been deeply involved in the drama recently, and this matter is also a long story.
Anyone who is familiar with Mai Qi knows that this person is not pursued.
It is said that his life experience was extremely miserable, his mother died early, and after his father found a stepmother for him, he robbed him of all his money, beat him violently, and drove him out of the house.
According to the thinking of normal people, anyone who puts this matter on him will have to hate to death, even if he is not strong enough, he will have the heart of revenge.
But once, after knowing these things, Rossi's girlfriend Ellie asked quickly: "What are you going to do next? I mean, with your father..."
But the moment she asked, she regretted it again. Is it not good to mention other people's sad things like this?
So, this kind-hearted girl hastily made mental preparations at this moment to "open her arms and comfort a radical boy who has suffered a lot and hates deeply and is only thinking of revenge". She also planned to apologize to Mikey, saying that she was not Intentionally, and instilled in him a bunch of life chicken soup of 'you have friends, we are here to help you'.
however,
Mai Qilong just covered his mouth tightly, lowered his head and yawned, and by the way carefully pinched out the small sparks that appeared between his fingers.
Then, he lazily replied to Ellie: "Are you planning? Go to sleep."
Under Ellie's bewildered eyes, he triumphantly gave a weird answer: "When I sleep for another few decades, that old guy might not be able to beat me."
This is not true at all.
Mikey really is a real dragon.
Although the Dragon Race has a small base, it has always been a cheating race.They have a long lifespan, and they belong to the type of 'doing nothing, and gaining strength out of thin air while sleeping a lot'.
Therefore, if Mikey sleeps for decades, his strength can really grow a lot.
From this point of view only, the thinking of dragons and humans must be different.
Mai Qi just has a lot of time to squander. Long life is long. What important things must be done immediately?It's better to lie down and sleep slowly, no matter what, wait until you wake up.
But everyone didn't know that he was a dragon!
According to the length of human life, this answer can be understood as - wait for me to sleep for a few more decades, and the scumbag will become an old man, and then I can happily beat the elderly.
Everyone: ...
It can be seen from this incident that Mikey (Dragon) is basically useless.
He has no pursuits in his life (long), only eating and sleeping, and he is dawdling every day, until recently he developed a wonderful hobby of buying highlights.
But such a useless dragon!
But Sami inspired the second spring of Longsheng.
"Mike, let's talk."
One night after casting a friend in the leading role out of selfishness, Sammy decided to take responsibility for the quality of the film.
"Uh, what do you want to talk about?" Michelon didn't really want to chat during sleep time.
But he found that Sami was particularly in line with his aesthetics today. He had just taken a shower, and his round face looked like a freshly baked bun, as if it was still steaming. He only wore a big T-shirt, showing two big white legs. It's really white, the kind that shines under the light... I just want to see it differently.
Sammy had no idea what the hell was going on in the head of the family dragon.
He comfortably grabbed a pillow, lay down on the sofa, and put his legs on the armrest of the sofa, intending to use this casual posture to have a heart-to-heart talk with his friends about the role: "I know you Without systematic acting training, it must be very stressful to be a leading actor for the first time."
Actually not.
Mai Qilong, who was sitting on the other side, stared blankly at the two big white legs dangling in front of his eyes, wondering why there was pressure.
In fact, Sammy was the one under pressure at this point.
Facing Mai Qilong's ignorant eyes like a child, he felt a sense of responsibility as a parent.One must speak carefully, otherwise it is likely to lead an aspiring young man astray.
Therefore, he did not directly express his thoughts, but adopted a guiding method: "How do you want to express the role of Colin?"
Michelon was puzzled: "Uh, just act like that."
At Sammy's urging, he stood up and performed a segment.
This performance shocked Sami so much that he mentioned it many times in front of reporters later: "You don't know how talented Mikey is. When he imitates people, he can do it exactly the same!"
But in fact, this is only for external business, and it is customary to tout the small partners.
Sammy was shocked but not pleased with Mikey's performance that night.
Because Mai Qilong's super imitation is entirely based on keen observation and absolute control over himself.
To give a simple example, if normal human beings want to imitate a person, it is impossible to notice with their own observation ability, how many times this person blinks his eyes when he speaks, and how much his mouth opens when he speaks. , Is the abdomen retracted or bulged forward, whether the thigh muscles are tensed or relaxed' such small details.Even if you notice it, you can't control your body to be exactly the same at the same time.
But Michelon can.
If it is a deduction without a prototype, it may be a little difficult.
But this kind of prototypical performance, with his super control over his human body, is enough for him to copy all the movements, expressions, and even the breathing rate of the other party intact, and finally get a person who is different in appearance, and other details are fake. The presence.
Faced with such an actor, an ordinary director would probably be ecstatic and think that he has encountered a genius.
Sammy is not.
He was indeed shocked by Mikey's imitation.
But when he accidentally met Mai Qilong's lazy gaze, he woke up instantly.
——This is not the lead singer Colin I want at all.
——This is an emotive imitation machine!
Mai Qilong was still complacent, but found that something was wrong.
His little round-faced human actually looked at him with super disappointment, and took back his two beautiful big white legs, sat up straight, and said in a tone that seemed to be discussing but was actually determined: "How about you wait until the next movie?" To be my leading actor? I'll enroll you in an acting training class later, so why don't you give up this one first?"
what?
what happened?
what happened?
Michelon couldn't care less about his legs.
He couldn't understand the situation.
Is the problem my fault?
He knew that humans had always treated him very well, but now, he was mercilessly trying to replace him, and the dragon's self-esteem was about to be shattered.
But just as Mikey is an emotive imitation machine.
Sammy is often impulsive, but at work, he also has a small round face with no emotion: "You don't meet my requirements for the role."
"What do you want you to tell me! How would I know if you don't tell me?" Mai Qilong was completely mad.
"Okay then." Sammy made a request indifferently: "Can you now act out what Colin will look like after realizing his dream?"
Michelon froze.
Then, he began to recall Colin's every move, and found that... he really couldn't act!
Because there is nothing to imitate.
In reality, Colin hadn't achieved success at all, so he hadn't seen what Colin would look like after he succeeded, so naturally he couldn't imitate it.
"You're better off as a faceless teddy than you are now! The teddy is real and your Colin is a dummy."
Disappointment was written on Sammy's face: "Mike, you haven't seriously studied the role at all."
—You imitate Colin's every move, but you have no idea what kind of person Colin is.
——You know that he does one thing, but you never think about why he does it; you don’t know what he wants; you don’t know what he’s after; you don’t know what he insists on; moreover I don't know what he paid along the way!I am oblivious!
— Mikey, you've wasted your talent and put it to the wrong place.
——You don't have any emotional investment in your character, or in other words, you don't pay attention to your character at all.
——Since you don’t like it, why insist on acting?
—Forget it, stop acting. "
Hello!
Don't talk to yourself, you little round face!
At this moment, Mai Qilong was really crazy.
Although as a dragon, he can't understand the complicated thinking of human beings, but if you tell him what to do, he doesn't mind understanding a human being, but this kind of person who doesn't even give a chance, is suddenly sentenced to death Behavior is too much.
But that's what Sammy is.
His thinking is very straight: you are my friend, I trust you, I will give you the role, but if you can't act well and don't want to act, then I will replace you and stop acting.
In the end, there must be no way to change people.
Michelon cried out to everyone he knew about Little Round Face's ruthlessness and unreasonableness.
Since he hangs out at Sami's house all the year round, that is to say, the friendship circles of the two basically coincide.
As a result, his mass line was very successful.
Everyone said to Sammy, "Dude, you can't kill someone in one shot, you should give him a chance."
Even Colin from Hello came up and said, "Well, actually, I think Mikey's pretty good."
Based on this, Sammy gave him another chance after serious consideration.
Mikey immediately worked his way up.
This is the ultimate reason why he ran to eat, live and move bricks with Colin.
It's just that I occasionally dream back at midnight, tired of moving bricks...
Michelon will be puzzled and consider a difficult question: "Didn't I come to the human country to eat, drink, and live until I became an adult? Although it is fine for a cute human to help me occasionally, why do I work so hard? , are you afraid that he will replace me? My dragon life goal was not like this in the first place, right? Why does it seem like I fell into the pit without knowing it?"
despite this.
But trying to think of yourself as a human is indeed an interesting experience for dragons.
Michelon gradually became immersed in it.
Once, he and Ke Lin tried to change to a more lucrative career, instead of moving bricks, they went to sales.
The first job was to sell diapers door to door.
As a result, the two were inexperienced, wandered around other people's houses for a long time, and couldn't figure out what to say, so that people would willingly buy a box of diapers.
It seemed too sneaky because of the two of them muttering at other people's doors.Moreover, he doesn't dress like a normal person. Colin is in a band, and he usually wears a bit non-mainstream, with long curly hair and an anti-theft chain around his neck. Mikey has been imitating him recently, so naturally he doesn't look like what a nice guy.
So someone called the police.
The police came and took them both away.
Colin panicked at the time.
He tried his best to explain his occupation. He moved bricks as his main job and sang as his deputy. At present, he failed to change his job to sell, but he was definitely a good citizen, and he would not do burglary, robbery or murder.
The police didn't quite believe it, thinking that the two of them were some kind of criminal gang planning to do something bad.
After all, the two looked less like salesmen and more like street bums.
After tossing around for half a day...
Colin finally remembered: 'No, what am I doing so hard?The guy next to me should prove himself more easily than me. He is an actor and he is here to experience life! "
He hurriedly changed his words and told the police: "The one next to me is an actor. He followed me to experience life. We are really not bad people."
The police seemed to be listening to some fantasy.
He couldn't help looking at Mikey, and asked suspiciously, "Actor? What have you acted in?"
But something weird happened.
Mikey said angrily, "What actor? I'm a singer, the lead singer of the band Hello!"
Colin was dumbfounded!
Dude, what are you playing!We are still in the game!
Afterwards, Mikey explained: "This is what you think deep in your heart, and this is what you most want to say."
He said very seriously: "Colin, I have thought about it carefully. Whether it is moving bricks or selling, that is not what you want. You are just a singer and the lead singer of the Hello band. I will help you speak out. "
Sammy applauds his understanding of the character at this moment.
He cheered and shouted: "You can do it! You can do it! Mikey! Yeah—!! You finally understand this role!"
Ke Lin was stunned: Nonsense, I didn't even think about it!I just want to leave the police station!
Because he has been deeply involved in the drama recently, and this matter is also a long story.
Anyone who is familiar with Mai Qi knows that this person is not pursued.

But the moment she asked, she regretted it again. Is it not good to mention other people's sad things like this?
So, this kind-hearted girl hastily made mental preparations at this moment to "open her arms and comfort a radical boy who has suffered a lot and hates deeply and is only thinking of revenge".
