Raising Dragons in Hollywood

"No matter how bad things go, life goes on."

Albioni, the hero played by Bellman, stands on a street and talks eloquently.

After experiencing the previous episode, the audience in the theater already had a preliminary understanding of the male protagonist’s experience, knowing that he was daring to deceive the god of death. As a result, not only his lover’s father died tragically, but also his lover turned into a white cat. So, it almost fell apart.

But now...

The audience couldn't help but looked at the screen curiously, wondering in their hearts: 'Has the genius magician regained his strength this day? '

Obviously not.

There was no arrogance on Albioni's face.

He looks like a wandering magician on the street, wearing a fashionable but outdated evening dress, talking tricks, and then attracting the attention of the onlookers with some boring card games and poor little tricks.

"Life goes on, and so will the magic," Albioni said with a smile.

He showed the top hat towards the crowd, indicating that it was empty, and then, with all eyes on, began to reach for the top hat: "Come on, look! See what this is? Amazing What will the hat of the house bring us? What? A pigeon? No, it's too old-fashioned! It's going to be... a cat... Huh? Where's my cat?"

At this time, a boy suddenly pointed behind him and said, "the cat is there, you forgot to put it in."

There was a sudden burst of laughter from the crowd.

Albioni turned around and found the white cat squatting behind him expressionlessly.

He couldn't help but look at him to signal 'Why don't you get into the hat, so that my magic failed'; the white cat unceremoniously cast him a contemptuous expression 'Idiot! '!

"Have you failed your hat-trick?" asked the boy who had pointed out the white cat.

"Uh..." Albioni turned around, smiled awkwardly, tried to maintain the scene and said nonsense: "It depends on the definition of failure, what is failure? Failure is the mother of success, failure It is a must pass on the bumpy road of life, it is..."

The white cat behind him showed an extremely disgusted expression.

It seemed to turn its head away unintentionally, not wanting to see the man acting stupid.

The boy is expressionless.

There was another burst of laughter from the crowd, as if watching this down-and-out third-rate magician make a fool of himself was a lot of fun.

"Never give up because of one failure, maybe try harder, and success is just around the corner."

Albioni held back and continued: "I still have a superb magic trick that I haven't shown, and it's here... As long as I recite the spell, a magical demon-slaying sword will appear in my hand..."

As he spoke, he opened his hands.

but……

Just listen to the crisp sound of 'Danglang'!

A sword that was obviously hidden on the body beforehand fell to the ground.

The whole place laughed.

People have obviously seen magicians as clowns, and magic shows have become burlesque scenes.

The white cat covered its eyes with its paws, with an expression that couldn't bear to look any more.

The boy smiled gleefully. "I've never seen you like that. Worst magician ever."

Albioni's expression was almost dying of embarrassment.

He bent down to pick up the sword, and tried his best to continue talking nonsense to the crowd: "What a beautiful sunny day, don't worry about this little mistake, failing once or twice is nothing, as long as you continue, you will always succeed. "

These blunt words ushered in a new wave of laughter from people.

Albioni looked towards the sky: "Trust me, let me try again."

The boy mocked meanly: "You are too bad, no matter how much you try, it will be a waste of the world."

People couldn't help laughing, although they thought the boy's words were a little too much, but the man in front of him didn't have any real skills in magic at all except for his clothes. He failed two consecutive magic tricks, and it seemed that there was really no need to persevere.

Albioni now stepped in front of the boy.

He said in an embarrassed tone: "I'm sorry, but I still want to try one last time, maybe... maybe I will succeed this time."

The boy snorted contemptuously.

Albioni smiled.

While everyone was waiting to see him make a fool of himself for the third time...

The desperate magician drew out his sword neatly, and without hesitation he slashed at the unsuspecting boy. As he slashed one after another, the boy immediately screamed and fell to the ground, blood spattering all over the place. There were several frightened screams from the person next to him.

Everyone was stunned!

Everyone wants to step forward to stop this atrocity, but also wants to call the police as soon as possible.

But the next moment!

In the eyes of everyone, the boy lying in a pool of blood had his head turned into a donkey's head, and his body was still human, but his skin was covered with layers of dense scales. One hand turned into a claw, and the other turned into a hoof. ...

In this process, the entire deformation process is extremely high-definition and real.

For example, the connection between the donkey's head and neck, as well as those scales, are all very natural, without any sense of falsehood.

"My God! Monsters! There are monsters!"

On the screen, countless people ran away screaming, and some were so frightened that they fainted on the spot.

"This... this, this special effect is amazing!"

The audience in the theater was also shocked: "What is that? A demon?"

Bellman is also very good in this scene.

From the beginning of paralyzing the monster, pretending to be a clumsy magician, and talking about letting everyone relax their guard, finally strike hard!When the monster revealed its real prototype, he still couldn't help showing a trace of fear, but the next moment he showed the composure of a former genius magician, grabbed the white cat with one hand, and quickly found a way to retreat.

"Your frightened expression mixed with a little calmness really impressed me!"

Mick Lee, who had worked with Sammy once in "Say Hello to the World" and who is also a friend of Behrman's, couldn't resist calling his friend to praise him after watching "The Exorcist".

Behrman hesitated, but answered the question honestly: "When I watched a normal boy suddenly become half-man, half-donkey, and told myself 'this is fake', I couldn't help being afraid, That expression is pretty easy to do.”

Mick Lee laughed loudly on the other side of the phone: "I haven't seen you for a while, you're a lot more humorous."

He also comforted: "Okay, I know you're in the show, but it's over, there's no need to be so immersed in it."

Bellman could only shut up with a wry smile.

But the degree to which The Exorcist was filmed this time around was unreasonable and bizarre, and it was stressful.

For example, the donkey man.

At first I thought it was just the effect of special effects makeup.

But later, he accidentally ran into a donkey who was sitting in the background devoting himself to eating corn tortillas.

When I looked at it up close, I couldn't fool myself that it was special effects makeup.

"What do you think I'm doing? Two cornbreads are my salary today. If you look at it again, I won't share it with you." The donkey man said.

Because he forgot to bring something, Behrman returned to the backstage and hurriedly said that he would never grab the tortillas. It's just that a day's salary is only two tortillas. What kind of cheap labor is this?It sounds really sour!

Thinking about it this way, I can't be afraid at all.

Out of curiosity, Behrman then quietly pretended to inadvertently ask several 'actors' who were obviously not in the same style as human beings, and found out an amazing fact. , the music-loving griffin hired for twenty music albums, and the tree man hired for four boxes of newly developed pesticides and new varieties of fertilizers...

Let's not talk about why these magical species really exist.

Just talking about the salary...

Is it too low?

Really black heart!

But no matter how black-hearted, these cheap laborers are still working hard.

Therefore, in the following time, in the words of movie fans later, it is "special effects without money".

The hero Albioni takes his white cat lover on a journey of slaying demons all the way.

Countless ghosts, demons and monsters never seen before appeared one after another, but they were all killed by them.

From the audience's point of view, this episode actually has no plot at all, but they just can't take their eyes off it.

Because those endless, unheard-of, and all kinds of magical species completely make up for the weakness of the plot, and they are completely brushing the sense of existence on the screen, appearing one after another as if they are rushing to the scene. Their existence, for the whole movie, It has successfully created a blurred, fantasy and wonderful magnificent world where gods, ghosts and humans coexist, which makes people dizzy when watching it all the way.

The only thing that makes people crazy is!

During this period, no matter how rare and rare these magical species are, as long as they run into the hands of the male protagonist and the white cat, they will all die.

What's even more hateful is that the male protagonist Albioni and the others did not do this for justice.

He slays demons and demons, and kills demons and ghosts whenever he sees them, just to try to please the gods on this side of heaven...

Because, after offending the god of death, he wanted to completely get rid of his lover from the imprisoned body of the white cat, so he could only choose the existence of the same god to take refuge in.

But as we all know, it is not reliable to ask the devil for help, and Albioni does not want his lover to get out of the body of the white cat with great difficulty, and because of cooperating with the devil, he must go to hell, so the natural choice is only heaven.

For the approval of heaven.

He teamed up with the white cat, and gradually became a male and female dual demon who specializes in killing the aliens in the world. Well, considering the white cat's appearance at this time, maybe it should be called a human cat dual demon?

But one person, one cat is a fan of the authorities.

The audience in the theater have already discovered what they did wrong: "Is this really considered indiscriminate killing of innocents? That ghost needs to be eliminated? She just wants to stay with her parents for a few more days." "And that little flower Jing, just want to play with the children, but also to kill?"

So, the witch appeared.

The plot reconnects with the very beginning of the film.

The white cat's paws scratched the landlord's neck.

The landlady fell to the ground, and the spell to maintain human form faded away.

The red blood gradually turned into a pale yellow transparent liquid.

The original human body has also become a tree.
