When Guan Biao, the pyrotechnician, went to set up the explosive device, Zhang Zian and Famous seized the time to observe the site. The backyard covered a very large area, almost equivalent to half of a football field. The ground was uneven, with weeds, mounds, rocks, puddles with thin ice, and huge craters. It was like a simulated battlefield.
Near the edge of the site, there was a special camera lift. A person who looked like a photographer was on standby holding a camera, and another staff member was standing under the lift to assist. Zhang Zian guessed that this was what Director Feng had just said, to let the dogs adapt to the presence of cameras and photographers.
There was a whole circle of green stickers on the courtyard wall, about the height of an adult man's chest.
"That is the green screen," Feng Xuan said. "You have probably heard of it. Although we are not shooting for real now, we still use it to make the simulation more realistic. "
Zhang Zian had indeed heard of it, but it was the first time he had seen it.
Feng Xuan called Sheng Ke and his two police officers over, pointed to the center of the site and said, "Do you see this marked passage?"
Zhang Zian and Sheng Ke looked over together and noticed that where Feng Xuan was pointing, there were two green lines winding to the end of the courtyard wall, with a distance of about two meters between the green lines.
"What you have to do is very simple. Let your dogs run along this passage to the end. When they run, there will be fireworks and mini explosions around them, and a loud explosion will be played through a hidden broadcasting device. But as long as they do not run outside the passage, they are safe. " Feng Xuan paused and said, "Of course, if you think it is too dangerous, it is okay to quit now."
Sheng Ke pulled the two police officers aside and asked them in a low voice if they were sure that they could quit if they were not sure. Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang were quite confident. It was just running in a straight line. Their police dogs had been trained for a long time, so there should be no problem.
Zhang Zian did not ask Famous, because it had already heard it. Since it did not object, it showed that it was also very confident. However, he saw some people standing next to the iron cages in the courtyard, looking at them as if they were watching something interesting.
"Those people over there are also here for the audition? Why don't they come over? "He was embarrassed to disturb Feng Xuan, so he asked his assistant, who was about his age.
The assistant nodded and said, "They've already finished their auditions. They're here today to wait for the results."
He glanced at the tablet he carried with him and introduced the dogs one by one. "The dog in cage No. 1 is Neptune from the Stars Group. His trainer is Yuan Fei. The dog in cage No. 2 is Black Knife from Vientiane Pet Shop. His trainer is Huang Mingyu. The dog in cage No. 3 is..."
Zhang Zian's ears caught a familiar name — not Fanxing, but Huang Mingyu. He couldn't help but be stunned and didn't hear the rest of the words. He remembered that this person had tried to steal Wang Qian and Li Kun's cat training secrets, but they had rejected him. Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. They actually met again here.
The two German Shepherds from the Binhai City Police Dog Unit were Red Dragon and Prince. They would participate in today's test with Famous.
The staff brought over a chair for Feng Xuan, who was over fifty years old, and invited him to sit down and observe. Nie Yuan stood at the side.
Guan Biao ran over, panting, holding a remote detonator in his hand. He said, "Director Feng, I have finished the arrangement. We can test it at any time."
"Alright. Are you all ready? " Feng Xuan looked at Zhang Zian and the two police officers in turn. "If you are ready, take your dogs to the starting point and wait for my command."
"Ready!" the two police officers replied in a loud voice. They took Red Dragon and Prince to the starting point first, squatted down and gently told their police dogs as usual, pointed to the finish line, and then untied the leashes around their necks.
"I am also ready," Zhang Zian said. Zhang Zian said as he brought Famous to the starting point. He didn't say anything, but just untied the leash like the two police officers.
At this time, Feng Xuan noticed that the leashes in Zhang Zian's hands had never been tightened from beginning to end. In other words, the leashes were just decorations for Famous.
Guan Biao made an OK gesture to Director Feng.
The cameraman on the elevator also made an OK gesture.
Director Feng suddenly changed to English and said, "Three-two-one... action!"
Xiao Liu, Xiao Wang, and Zhang Zian were all stunned. Before they could react, they saw Famous jump out like an arrow! Until then, the two police officers came to their senses and quickly patted the backs of Red Dragon and Prince. Red Dragon and Prince, who had received their master's signal, also rushed forward, but they were already at least three body lengths behind Famous!
Although no one said that the dog that reached the finish line first was the protagonist, it at least proved that Famous's reaction speed was faster. It could understand the instructions without the intervention of its owner, and the instructions were in English...
"Come on, Red Dragon! Come on! "
"Prince, go! Catch up with it!"
Losing at the starting line, the two police officers were very unwilling. They put their hands around their mouths and shouted to encourage their dogs. Anyway, no one said that it was not allowed.
Red Dragon and Prince were indeed the best in the police dog brigade. Not only did they have extremely high obedience, but they were also diligent in their daily training. In terms of physical fitness alone, they seemed to be better than Famous. After a burst of rushing, they gradually closed the gap to two body lengths behind Famous!
Zhang Zian did not shout anything, but silently watched Famous's running back from behind.
Sheng Ke was in an awkward situation. He had a superior and subordinate relationship with the two police officers, and he was friends with Zhang Zian. It was not appropriate for him to cheer for either of them. Although he did not want the police dogs to participate in the film shooting, he did not want to watch them lose to a strange dog... So he had to stay where he was and not help either side.
On the other side of the field, Yuan Fei and Huang Mingyu were also staring at the three dogs. As competitors, of course, they hoped that the three dogs could not pass this test.
Hiss... hiss...
Guan Biao pressed a button, and the smoke emitting device hidden in the field was activated. The blue and white smoke was blown by the wind, quickly blurring the figures of the three dogs.
Although it was a simulated battlefield, it was not a real battlefield after all. This kind of thick smoke looked terrible, but in fact, it was not choking, and it had no obvious effect on the three dogs. They still rushed straight to the finish line.
Seeing that there was hope to catch up with Famous, the two police officers shouted even more vigorously, almost breaking their throats.
However, their voices were immediately engulfed by the huge sound waves that sounded like a tsunami!
"Whoosh — boom!"
“Boom!”
The huge explosion almost sounded in their ears, simulating the sound effect of a cannonball falling through the air and exploding on the ground. The earth was shaking, and they felt as if they were on the battlefield.
Although the two police dogs had been trained for a long time and had participated in several roundups with real guns and bullets, they were, after all, police dogs, not military dogs. Even if they were military dogs, few of them had actually been on the battlefield. The huge explosion shook their minds, and their speed was obviously slowed down. They were no longer rushing as fast as they had been at the beginning, but switched between running and walking repeatedly. Occasionally, they would even stop and look back at their owners for help.
In the cold wind, the two police officers were so anxious that they were sweating all over. They could not wait to run forward with their dogs.
On the other hand, Famous slowed down and no longer ran wildly. It seemed that it was also disturbed, but it did not look back, nor did it stop. It still kept moving forward.
Its eyes were a little confused, and there was no focus in its eyes. It just ran forward mechanically. For the time being, there was only one goal in its mind, and that was to rush to the finish line and win this role.
However, the hazy smoke … the shaking earth … the hoarse shouting … all these seemed to make it vaguely remember something, very distant and very close.
It was not afraid of the smoke and the loud noise. On the contrary, it seemed to have returned to where it should be, and its whole body was boiling!
