Zhang Zian stood up from Famous's side and asked, "Is the performance over?"
Feng Xuan seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly said, "It's over."
Hearing this, Famous turned over and sat up from the ground, gasping for breath with its mouth wide open. It had held its breath in order to pretend to be dead, so its body was a little short of oxygen.
Feng Xuan, Nie Yuan, Sheng Ke, his assistant, and the security guards on the scene all looked at Famous and Zhang Zian in silence. They didn't know what words to use to express their feelings at this time … This was too amazing. How was this dog trained to be like this?
Zhang Zian couldn't forget what he had just seen. He wondered if he had seen it wrong. Why did Famous's eyes look so much like the dead Guangxi Terrier?
After a long time, Feng Xuan suppressed his extremely complicated feelings, took a deep breath and said, "Well, I think this step of the test can be stopped here. What do you think, Director Nie?"
Nominally, Feng Xuan and Nie Yuan co-hosted the audition, so Feng Xuan still had to show some respect to Nie Yuan.
"I have nothing to say, Director Feng, you have the final say." Nie Yuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Famous's acting just now was too good, and it made him feel creeped out.
"Well, then we will move to the backyard next. The last step of the audition is over, but it is very difficult, and your dog may even be injured during the test. "Feng Xuan stood up, tidied up his wrinkled suit, and said to Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian's heart tightened, and he looked at Famous worriedly. Famous responded fearlessly, as if to say, "Don't worry, it will be fine."
"You know, the name of our movie is Dog Warrior. It is a movie about the brave fighting of police dogs domesticated by border guards in actions such as minesweeping, anti-drug, and transnational crime. In the movie, there will inevitably be some thrilling scenes such as battles between the enemy and us, car chases, dangers in the wilderness, and crossing minefields. In these scenes, a lot of fireworks and explosion effects will be used. "Feng Xuan said," So we must make sure that as the protagonist, the dog must have courage and determination. It can't be scared to run away with its tail between its legs at the sight of flames and loud noises. Do you understand? "
Zhang Zian finally understood why the crew was so fond of the police dogs. It turned out that they had participated in real law enforcement actions, so their determination and courage were better than ordinary German Shepherds. Even so, they still couldn't find a dog that satisfied them, which meant that the next test would be very strict.
"I understand." He nodded.
Feng Xuan said approvingly, "Of the dogs that come to the audition, only one out of ten can make it to the last step. Your dog is the best I've ever seen. I hope it can make it to the end smoothly."
The assistant handed a piece of paper to Zhang Zian. "Please sign this disclaimer."
Zhang Zian glanced at it briefly. It was nothing more than saying that he had volunteered to participate in the test and understood that he might encounter danger during the test. The crew would not be responsible for any injuries or even deaths that might occur during the test.
In the face of this life and death contract, he hesitated for a moment, and then read out every sentence on it in a low voice. Others thought that he had this reading habit, but in fact, he was reading it to Famous.
Without any hesitation, Famous barked loudly.
Zhang Zian gritted his teeth, signed and wrote the date at the end of the contract, and handed it back to the assistant.
"Okay, let's go," Feng Xuan said with satisfaction.
The assistant brought two green military coats of the same style as Sheng Ke's. Feng Xuan and Nie Yuan put on the military coats, waved to Zhang Zian, and took the lead.
At this time, Sheng Ke was worried about Zhang Zian. He pulled Zhang Zian to the back and whispered, "Can you do it? If you can't, don't force yourself! This dog is so understanding. If it were my dog, I wouldn't be willing to let it risk its life … "
Zhang Zian shook his head. He wasn't sure, but Famous insisted on doing this, so he could only respect its will. In a sense, he could understand Famous. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to forget who he was. His past life became a blank, and he didn't know what his name was, who his parents were, where he came from, and where he was going. It must be very painful. He couldn't even determine the meaning of life, so Famous had to find himself in any case.
They walked out of the back door of the small building and came to the spacious backyard. A high wall surrounded the backyard, giving people the feeling that it was a prison.
When they entered the backyard, they heard several dogs barking.
Next to the wall was a row of iron cages, in which more than a dozen German Shepherds were locked. Their barking echoed in the yard.
"Captain Sheng!"
Someone was calling Sheng Ke and waving at him.
Sheng Ke trotted over, "Liu, Wang, are you still here?"
Liu and Wang were also wearing police uniforms and military coats. They had probably been waiting here for a long time, and their noses were running. They rubbed their hands and said, "Yes, the pyrotechnician said that it was not easy to set up a scene, so he asked us to wait until the end to test it together."
Sheng Ke felt sorry for his two subordinates, but he also felt sorry for the police dogs in the iron cages. He quickly handed two cigarettes to them and let them warm up.
Feng Xuan pointed to the dozen German Shepherds in the cages and said, "Have you heard of the movie Wolf Totem?"
"Yes, the one based on the novel, right? For a while, the original novel and the movie were quite popular. I have watched it, "Zhang Zian responded.
Feng Xuan nodded, "In order to shoot the movie Wolf Totem, the crew built a training base in Huairou, found hundreds of young wolves from all over the country, and then hired trainers to train them. The training time is up to one and a half years, so that the wolves can adapt to the existence of the camera before they can go to shoot. From the hundreds of young wolves, the crew will select 20 young wolves with more understanding as the main actors, and one or two talented wolves will become the main actors. "
"Then the dozen German Shepherds here are …" Zhang Zian seemed to understand.
"Yes, these German Shepherds are the selected main actors. As for who can become the main actor, it depends on their overall performance." Feng Xuan sighed, "Our funds are far less than the crew of Wolf Totem, and the shooting period is shorter than theirs. We can't train like them for a year and a half, and we don't have the money to build a training base, which is a little too eager for quick success … But dogs are easier to find than wolves. In order to make this movie a success, we can only hope to find talented dogs."
As he spoke, he glanced at Famous.
Famous silently looked at the dozen competitors in the cages.
