Raising Dragons in Hollywood

After the heroine incident, Sami continued to seriously make various preparations for this somewhat troubled "The Exorcist".

But interestingly, another piece of news that has interested the entertainment media has emerged.

During this period, the crew of "The Exorcist" was finally gradually completed under the attention of almost everyone.

But the problem is, it's different from other crews.

This time, all personnel who entered the crew of "The Exorcist" must sign an agreement in advance.

In this agreement, the crew is prohibited from talking to anyone (including friends and family) about the production business, even insignificant topics such as 'what's for lunch'.

Sami's reason to the outside world is very high-sounding: "This is just an ordinary movie that has not yet started shooting. It is not a good thing that people pay too much attention to it. Now I really want to settle down and make movies, and I don't want to create more boring topics. Therefore, I decided to let the entire crew maintain a low-key and humble creative attitude with me, eliminate unnecessary interference from the outside world, and do my best to complete the film."

is that a lie?

Everyone doesn't believe it.

The Kerry brothers, who had seen first-hand how Sammy turned a movie into an advertising campaign, were typical of unbelief.

They often sighed in private, "Little round face is really good at playing, it's a pity that we can't cooperate this time."

For this reason, a large number of paparazzi ran over one after another.

They ambush near the shooting site, trying to dig out the secrets hidden by the crew.

But they tried their best, and in the end they only got a fixed-makeup photo of the male lead under the strict guard of the crew.

Moreover, it's hard to say, is this makeup photo released on purpose by the crew?Because the stills look too formal, it doesn't look like a random capture at all.

However, when these paparazzi posted the photos, they still won a lot of hits and attention.

In this photo, Behrman sweeps away the image of the gentle, well-behaved nerd in the past films. Rolled together, it looks a bit sloppy.

He had an almost delirious expression on his face, as if he hadn't woken up, his face was too pale and haggard, with many freckles, his eyes were half-closed, with serious dark circles.The makeup artist probably also darkened the silhouette, making the face more angular and thinner than usual.On the whole, there is probably only one pair of eyes left, and the softness and melancholy that are unique to the past can still be vaguely seen.

Then, with a lighted cigarette between the fingers of his left hand, he holds a weird top hat in his right.

In this top hat, the beautiful and cute fluffy head of Mr. White Cat is exposed.

[He doesn't look like an exorcist, but rather a wandering magician who takes out his hat and turns people into cats at any time. ]

Netizens who saw the photo couldn't help commenting: [Anyway, this image is unexpectedly good-looking. ]

However, the reaction of fans of the book was a bit polarized.

Some of the more stubborn readers struggled and said: [Although it does have the elements mentioned in these novels such as 'black gray hair, blue eyes, and a black high-necked long coat', but the top hat and the messy metal amulet around the neck , And what about the dark circles under the eyes and cigarettes like smoky makeup?It's not written like this in the novel, so is it really okay to change it casually?By the way, white cats are beautiful. ]

But another group of relatively tolerant readers didn't care much about the changes in those details, and they rarely defended Sammy a few words: [The image of Bellman is not bad, although it is not the same as some of the descriptions in the book, but everyone Have you forgotten?Ms. Selena, the author of the original novel, is also the screenwriter of this movie!Therefore, these changes should also be agreed by the original author. ]

Then, they offered their opinion: [Frankly, I kind of like top hats, metal necklaces and smoky makeup, how cool is that.And... that white cat is so beautiful. ]

It can be seen that animals are much easier to mix in Hollywood than humans.

Whether it's those who oppose the male protagonist's styling or those who support the male protagonist's styling, everyone can reach a consensus that the white cat is very beautiful.

Teacher Baimao is very satisfied with this.

It secretly took Sami's computer and searched for keywords such as 'white cat, exorcist', and then happily watched all kinds of praise and praise from netizens.

As for Bellman...

He has not yet found the feeling of entering the play.

"He improved his image too much, and instead appeared deliberate in many performances."

Although Ms. Selena was moved by Sammy's sincerity and earnestness, she was not so satisfied with the male lead that Sammy insisted on choosing. Therefore, when Bellman was repeatedly unable to enter the play, she couldn't help but express some dissatisfaction. Such nice words.

Sammy replied calmly, "He needs a little time."

And Bellman's performance is also very attractive: "This is a bit difficult for me, but I will try my best to do everything well."

Ms. Selena was speechless.

But she felt that she was falling into a trap called 'doing my best'. The director promised to 'do my best', and the male protagonist also promised to say 'doing my best', but can the film be able to "do my best"? Next, become exciting?have no idea for now!

But they do work hard.

In order to help Behrman get into the play, Sami covered the walls of a room with clippings of the original novel of "The Exorcist", text introductions and portraits of various demons and monsters, and some (in the book) Photos of the tragic death of the victim, making it seem that these are the same as what happened in reality.

Moreover, he also reminded: "Although it is a bit old-fashioned, try to face your true self."

Bellman didn't quite understand what this sentence meant.

But the absolutely immersive environment really helped him find the feeling of the character.

And when he found the feeling of playing this role, he suddenly understood what Sami meant: [Breaking through the shackles of the original role does not mean abandoning the past, on the contrary, the new role is also a part of his own body. display.No actor, except a schizophrenic, can completely cut himself off from himself and become a completely different person.So, all they can do is exaggerate and amplify appropriately based on certain qualities in the body. ]

After officially finding the feeling, Bellman finally succeeded in entering the play.

What is admirable is that once he enters the play, he can maintain the role 24 hours a day. It sounds a little crazy, but it is really powerful.

When filming 'Albioni, who has not yet become an exorcist, lost the battle because he was too careless to deal with the demon for the first time', his eyes were covered with water, full of emotion and richness , as if she was about to cry the next moment.

Sammy didn't know how the scene was filmed.

It may be the light at that moment, or it seems to be the charm of the actor himself, but in short, it looks very pleasantly surprised.

This made his inspiration spring up in an instant.

So, he and Bellman got together to discuss and design various details about the hero, trying to pour a real soul into the body of the character of the exorcist Albioni, making him vivid and vivid. Flesh and blood, lifelike.

But the details of these new designs turned into a big problem.

Ms. Selena, who has a tendency to perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder, constantly deletes and revises the script that has been written for these new details. A slight emotional fluctuation of the hero will make her immediately collapse and want to overthrow the script. Rewrite it.

It was okay at the beginning, and she made changes as she shot, but later on, the speed at which she changed the script could not keep up with the speed of filming.

When the exorcist Albioni was photographed standing on the street holding a white cat...

Behrman asked Sammy: "Okay, I'm holding Katie (the white cat), what's next?"

Sammy replied irresponsibly: "I don't know, Selena is still writing the script."

"Then how do we shoot now?" Bellman could only ask, dumbfounded.

Sammy thought for a while and replied: "You hold the cat first, and I'll take a close-up and street view."

Bellman: ...

Selena is a very responsible person.

When this happened, she was so ashamed that she wanted to commit suicide, and immediately stayed up all night to write a new version of the script.

That's until her editor, in total shock, asks Sammy 'how did you get her to start rushing the draft'...

She suddenly realized that something was wrong: "I joined the crew as a screenwriter, obviously to prevent my work from being randomly changed by others, but in the end, why was it me...uh, I kept changing it at Sami's request?" Come and change?"

There is no doubt that she is the same as Bellman.

On board the thief ship!

When Sammy made up his mind to convince someone, let's not mention the persistence and earnestness over and over again.

It's hard to say no to him.

perhaps……

A dragon-slaying warrior who insisted on "there are dragons in the world" for decades has long been invincible in terms of willpower!

During this period, the producer sent by Disney also supported Sammy.

However, he was very puzzled by one thing: "I'm sorry, can you tell me what the hell is the special effects company you're looking for, the Claw Root Treasure Company? I've never heard of this company in Hollywood , do they really have the technology?"

Sammy tried to make up a lie to fool people.

But in the end he still told the truth obediently: "This is a company with real dragons and real monsters. They don't need technology to shock the audience to death."

Mr. Producer looked over blankly.

Then, he seemed to be sneering: [It's very humorous, but do I look like a cheating retard? ]

Sammy shrugged helplessly.

The world is like this, the truth will never be believed.
