"Master! I heard that you are going to act in a movie? "
After returning to the pet shop, Wang Qian and Li Kun heard that Zhang Zian had successfully auditioned and signed a contract with the crew, so they asked him questions curiously. Even Lu Yi Yun couldn't help but stretch her ears to listen. Lu Yi Yun was worried that Zhang Zian would close the shop if there was any trouble.
"It's not me, it's Famous. I'm just going to be a director," Zhang Zian said while eating the lunch he bought on the way. Famous lowered its head and ate the medium-well steak with a glass of dry red wine.
"You're going to be a director?" Li Kun was shocked. "Are you going to shoot a Xianxia film?"
"Nonsense! What Xianxia film? An animal film about the heroic deeds of police dogs in frontier areas... "Zhang Zian put down his chopsticks and opened the script that Feng Xuan had given him after signing the contract." It includes crossing minefields, drug interdiction, cracking down on smuggling, poaching, smuggling and other transnational crimes. "
Zhang Zian had just gotten the script, so he didn't have time to read it carefully. However, he was an official member of the crew. Even if the content of the work was relatively simple, he had to at least find time to read the script, especially the scenes related to dogs. He had to think about whether there would be any danger during the shooting, so he could take precautions in advance.
Since he had taken their money, he had to eliminate disasters for them.
Wang Qian looked at the cover of the script, and said, "The director is Feng Xuan."
"You know about it?" Zhang Zian stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth.
"I don't know, but my dad knows. He is also a hardcore fan of Feng Xuan. He has watched every anti-war film made by Feng Xuan." Wang Qian thought for a moment and said, "Master, can you help me get Feng Xuan's autograph? My dad's birthday is coming up, and I haven't thought about what to give him... If possible, it would be best if it could be an autograph. "
"No problem, it's a piece of cake." Zhang Zian agreed. "I am now an indispensable figure in the crew. I don't know if the world will spin without me, but the crew will definitely not be able to function without me!"
Famous looked up at him, then continued to eat the steak.
"Master, who is the female lead of this film? Is it one of the four most popular actresses? "Li Kun asked with great interest. If the answer was yes, he also wanted to get an autograph.
Zhang Zian regretfully wiped his mouth. "I thought so too at first, but after reading the script, I realized that this is a purely male drama. Not to mention the female lead, even the dogs chosen are all male!"
Wang Qian asked weakly, "Master … What do you want to do if one of the dogs is a female?"
"I don't want to do anything!" Zhang Zian glared at him.
"Oh," Wang Qian replied, clearly not believing it.
"Are there any idols in this movie?" Li Kun asked again.
"Yes!" Zhang Zian replied casually. He pointed at his nose and said, "Am I not?"
"… Apart from you? Who's the male lead? "
"Why do you ask?"
Li Kun's persistent questions aroused Zhang Zian's vigilance and Richard's interest. When Zhang Zian was not paying attention, it flew down from the bar, stretched its neck, and accurately grabbed an American grape from the lunch box. Zhang Zian wanted to stop it, but it was too late. He could only glare angrily.
"Quack! Are you interested in little fresh meat? "Richard swallowed the grape and winked at Li Kun.
"No!" Li Kun was embarrassed. "My mom is interested!"
Zhang Zian flipped through the script and said, "The main character of this movie is a dog named 'Lightning', and Lin Feng plays Lightning's owner. He can barely be considered the male lead."
"Lin Feng … Although he is not very famous, my mom seems to like this actor. Master, can you help me get an autograph of him?" Li Kun begged.
Zhang Zian nodded heavily. He was deeply worried about the harmony of Li Kun's family.
He quickly finished the rest of the meal and asked, "Didn't I give you a day off? Why are you here again? "
Wang Qian and Li Kun answered naturally, "Since we have nothing to do, we can chat with each other in the dormitory. We can chat anywhere."
"Um … Mr. Store Manager …" Lu Yiyun whispered, "I want to ask …"
"You also want an autograph?" Zhang Zian asked.
"No, no, I want to ask … Will Mr. Store Manager stay with the crew for a while?" she asked nervously.
Although she had only worked in the store for a few days, she had already seen many strange customers who raised all kinds of strange questions and unreasonable demands. She was stunned and didn't know what to do. When Zhang Zian was in the shop, he could easily solve these problems for her. When he was occasionally not there, she could ask the customers to wait for him to come back. But if he was not there for a long time … she would be at a loss and could not continue working.
"It's not like that." Zhang Zian waved the script. "I will only go when I am needed. I won't stay with the crew for a long time. Although this is a movie with a dog as the main character, there are still many scenes for human actors. Those actors' schedules are tight, so I will first finish their scenes. "
He continued, "In addition, let's take Lightning, which is played by Famous. At the beginning of the story, the male lead, played by Lin Feng, picks up a puppy and names it Lightning. Then, he and Lightning grow up together and play together. Someone else plays the puppy … No, it's another dog. Famous and I don't have to go during this part of the movie. No matter how incompetent the crew is, they don't need my guidance to play with the puppy … So, as the main dog trainer, my salary is paid on a daily basis. "
"Oh." Lu Yiyun was more or less relieved.
Not everyone knew that when shooting a movie, it was not according to the chronological order of the script. Instead, the content of the script was scattered according to the scene, which was more efficient and economical, and the schedule of the actors had to be taken into account. Lu Yiyun didn't know that her comics had always been drawn from the beginning in chronological order.
Zhang Zian didn't need to go every day. He had to go when there were scenes with Famous and adult dogs. Other times, he could stay in the pet shop. Occasionally, Feng Xuan would ask some questions through the Internet or the phone.
Wang Qian and Li Kun went back after finishing the cleaning work in the shop. There were no customers in the afternoon. Lu Yiyun sat quietly behind the cashier and focused on drawing. Her cat, Jasmine, was lying on her lap. Occasionally, it carefully looked at Fina through the glass door.
Lu Yiyun's sense of existence was too low. The shop was very quiet, as if Zhang Zian was the only one there.
After he finished eating, he lay on the recliner and carefully read the script.
The script was far less interesting than novels and movies. It was neither literary nor picturesque, and Zhang Zian felt sleepy while reading it. After lunch, Zhang Zian was sleepy. He yawned while trying to cheer himself up.
He skimmed through the dialogue between the human characters. Anyway, there were no girls in the show, and there were no sex scenes. The focus was on the scenes where Famous and other dogs appeared.
After casually turning a few pages, his eyes fell on the plot of an adventure in the wilderness.
Although it was not explicitly stated, the background of Dog Warrior should be near the border of western China. There was a plateau in the Gobi Desert, a large area of no man's land, which provided a natural soil for the breeding of transnational criminal activities. With the advancement of technology, the equipment of criminals became more and more advanced. It was easy to get high-tech criminal tools, such as mobile phone signal jammers. Zhang Zian had suffered from this before.
In this scene, a squad of border police officers and soldiers was attacked by armed criminals. Although they repelled the enemy, they also suffered heavy losses. Several officers and soldiers were injured and could not move. However, the communication equipment and vehicles were destroyed by the criminals, so they could not get in touch with the garrison headquarters.
It was very cold and snowing heavily. The armed police officers and soldiers did not have enough supplies, so they were trapped in the no man's land in the Gobi Desert. The no man's land was too large. Even if the headquarters sent a plane to search and rescue, they would not be found in a short time. If the extremely bad situation continued, they would die. By the time the headquarters found them, they might have starved to death or frozen into popsicles.
These armed police officers and soldiers carried out the task with Lightning and several other police dogs. In desperation, they decided to release the police dogs to go back and ask for help. The police dogs had to cross a large area of dangerous no man's land, endure hunger and thirst, tread through dangerous minefields, escape from poachers, and be besieged by ferocious beasts. Finally, they successfully returned to the headquarters.
When they arrived at the headquarters, the police dogs were already bruised and dying. They fell in front of the armed police on duty. From their collars, people found letters for help from the trapped armed police officers and soldiers, which contained the coordinates of their location.
This was a very touching scene and the big climax of the whole movie. While the headquarters sent helicopters to rescue the trapped officers and soldiers, they ordered to save the lives of the meritorious police dogs at all costs.
Of course, as the standard happy ending of a main theme movie, not only were the trapped officers and soldiers rescued in time, but the police dogs must have also been saved. After their injuries were healed, they were rewarded with various awards, became famous, received warm condolences from people, appeared on TV, became popular on the Internet, and finally reached the pinnacle of dog life...
Putting other problems aside for the time being, Zhang Zian paid special attention to the words "besieged by ferocious beasts." He looked through the script several times, not letting go of a single word. However, he did not find any specific description of the beasts. Maybe the screenwriter did not think it was necessary to specifically write it.
Ferocious beasts in the western border area, and besieging...
Zhang Zian thought about it, but could only think of one kind of beast that was good at besieging.
How to shoot this scene? He could not help but mutter in his heart.
