Chapter Four Hundred and Twentieth IX Start Work

Zhang Zian received a notice from the crew that there was a shot of an adult dog on stage today, and he was required to go to the crew to guide the work.

To be fair, he was quite excited when he received the notification. After all, this was his first official appearance on the set. Even though it was an all-male crew, there were no encounters to look forward to.

Early in the morning, he told Lu Yiyun to call him if she encountered any troublesome customers, and he left the store with Femas.

Taking a taxi to Binhai Film and Television City, Zhang Zian went straight to the gray and white courtyard last time. It was rented by the crew of "War Dogs" as a work area, and some scenes were filmed here.

A sentry post with a canopy was placed at the gate of the courtyard, but since it was not time for shooting, no one stood on guard at the sentry post. There is a sign hanging on the gate of the courtyard, which reads: Xin'an City Police Dog Training Base.

Xin'an City is a fictional western frontier city in "War Dogs". Part of the scene where Lightning played by Femas and other police dogs before they become adults takes place here. After filming the plot here, the crew will go out on location to shoot the scenery of the snowfield in the west. Of course, this part is also the set in the film and television city, and it will be combined with the real snowfield location in post-production.

"Brother Zhang!"

Someone called Zhang Zian, he heard the reputation and looked over, it was Xiao Liu who auditioned with him a few days ago.

Wearing a police uniform, Xiao Liu led Chilong and the prince, waiting here for Zhang Zian. He and Xiao Wang were worried about leaving their pet dogs here, and would rather come over during filming, but they didn't have permission to enter the film crew, so they had to make an appointment with Zhang Zian to hand over the two police dogs to Zhang Zian at the door.

He handed the leash to Zhang Zian, "Brother Zhang, Chilong and the prince will be entrusted to you!"

The thought of his pet dog being in danger on set, whether the danger came from the filming itself or from someone playing tricks, made him very sad.

During the filming process, even the actors may be accidentally injured. The news of stars falling off horses is familiar from time to time, not to mention the animals in the crew. This is inevitable. Some foreign animal films will have subtitles at the beginning or end of the film, specifically stating: "No animal was injured during the filming of this film", which can be described as the ultimate humanistic care for animals. But obviously "War Dogs" can't do this, even dogs were injured during the audition process.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to take good care of them." Zhang Zian comforted, "From today onwards, they will appear on stage almost every day. I saw you running back and forth. After the filming, I took them back to the shop. I can't bear it." they."

Xiao Liu nodded, "Okay, I believe you, Brother Zhang, that's what Captain Sheng told me,

Then I'll go back to base first. "

He turned his head three times a step, staring at Chilong and the prince reluctantly, as if parting from each other.

After the taxi he was in disappeared from sight, Zhang Zian led the three German shepherds into the yard.

Chilong and the prince are very obedient to Fei Max, and they will do what Fei Max does. Although they are three adult dogs, it is not difficult to lead them.

There were people coming and going in the yard, some of them looked familiar, they should be the staff of the crew, Zhang Zian looked around, looking for a place to check in with his face.

"Mr. Zhang, over here." Feng Xuan's assistant saw him from a distance.

Zhang Zian led Fei Masi and walked over.

"Mr. Zhang, have you read all the scripts to be filmed today?" The assistant motioned to follow him to the backyard, asking as he walked.

"Of course, I've seen it several times, and I can recite it. What I'm going to shoot today is the scene where Lightning is training in the training base?" Zhang Zian confirmed.

"Yes, today's scene is not difficult. Although it is your first time to participate in the shooting, Mr. Zhang, you should be fine... Oh, by the way, this is your pass, and you will have to wear it on your body in the future." The assistant handed it to him A badge with Zhang Zian's ID photo on it, stating his position in the crew.

Zhang Zian wore it on his chest as he said.

When I came to the backyard, it was completely different from the audition a few days ago. At that time, it was rough and full of potholes. Now it has been filled and compacted. There are many props for police dog training, such as crossbars, low walls, concrete pipes, The balance beam, the unlit fire ring, it looks like that.

There were already a dozen dogs waiting there, led by different trainers.

Feng Xuan was sitting on a soft chair with a small coffee table in front of him. A monitor was set up on the coffee table, and a loudspeaker in his hand, speaking to several actors.

Several cameras were set up in the venue, controlled by different photographers, and shot from multiple angles.

As for other lighting, scenery, and sound effects personnel, they all performed their duties and were ready to start shooting.

Zhang Zian looked around, but he didn't see Guan Biao. After all, there was no explosion scene today, so Guan Biao probably didn't need to go to work.

The assistant pointed to the other direction and said, "The director is busy, Mr. Zhang, let me take you to meet the leading actor, Lin Feng, and let your dog get acquainted with him, so as to avoid accidents during the filming."

The accident he was talking about was probably because he was afraid that Femas would bite Lin Feng during filming, Zhang Zian didn't worry about this, but since Li Kun wanted to give his mother a signed photo of Lin Feng, he just took this opportunity to ask for one.

The assistant led him to the temporary make-up booth, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that this show is full of men, so it's much easier to put on makeup. If there are big-name actresses in the show, it may take three for the make-up alone." Hour."

There are two makeup booths, one big and one small, the big one is a public makeup booth, and the small one is of course dedicated to the few stars in the show.

The assistant knocked on the door, and when he heard "Come in", he led Zhang Zian and pushed the door in.

The electric heater was turned on in the make-up studio, and it was very warm. An actor in his thirties was sitting in front of the make-up mirror, and a female make-up artist was smearing his face.

"Brother Lin, let me introduce you, this is Zhang Zian, the main dog trainer hired by the crew, this is his dog Flymas, who plays the adult Lightning in the play, and the other two dogs are teammates who play the role of Lightning. "The assistant introduced enthusiastically.

"Hello! Welcome to the crew! Sorry, I'm putting on makeup, so I won't get up to shake hands." Lin Feng didn't have the airs of a big-name actor, and looked at Zhang Zian and Fei Max through the makeup mirror.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Zian, and I'm a new dog trainer." Zhang Zian casually looked around the dressing room. It was very messy, filled with the scent of various cosmetics, and there were some plastic models wearing wigs. Let the makeup artist try on their faces.

After looking at it for a while, Lin Feng asked curiously: "I heard what happened on the day of your audition, it was quite thrilling...Hey, let me ask you, how did your dog find the abnormality? It spread in the crew .”

The assistant was equally curious, waiting for Zhang Zian's answer.

Zhang Zian knew that there must be some people in the crew who would be suspicious, so he prepared the answer in advance and said, "You have heard that in subways, airports, and important international conference venues, there will be special bomb-searching dogs to search for dangerous explosives. My Phymas is trained to search for explosives, so it smells the excess and senses the danger."

"So amazing?" The female make-up artist also stopped what she was doing, and looked at Femas with great interest, "How did you train?"

"Sorry, this is an industry secret." Zhang Zian replied, "I will have nothing to eat if I tell you."

Fei Max squatted on the spot well-behaved, and Chilong and the prince followed suit.

When accepting the show, Lin Feng was still a little worried about being bitten by a dog at first, but seeing that the three dogs didn't seem to be aggressive, he felt relieved.

"This dog doesn't bite, does it?" he asked half-jokingly.

"If it needs to bite during the filming, it will bite. Otherwise, don't worry, it won't bite people." Zhang Zian felt that the little star was very approachable and relaxed. 89
